Yes the deals are all changing tmrw, go into an 02 shop, they may tell you whether it's worth waiting or not, I work for 02 Retail and I have been advising people what the differences will be so they can decide whether to wait or not, but I cant post on here so I say nip in your local 02, they may tell you.

Would you be able to PM me or Email me (gazzalfc@hotmail.com) Stuck in work all day today and cant nip in

Cheers

Even though you cant say specifics. In your own opinion are the tariffs better or worse than whats on offer right now?

For example I'm leaning more towards a Simplicity deal as I want to keep my current phone. Would you say upgrade today or wait until tomorrow?

Ive got an upgrade due on the 27th, been on a retention deal paying £27.50 a month for 600 mins, 1000 texts, blackberry data and weekend calls. I know theres not much chance of me getting this deal again. I really want to know what the new tarrifs will be as I don't want to leave o2.

From a brief heads up earlier, this is what I can remember:

£30+ tariffs seem to be the same
£25 300 mins UL txts
£20 100 mins
£15 50 mins
Plus a new £10 tariff.

Sorry to quote my own post, I just had a chat with CPW sales and they indicate the £30+ tariffs will include 'UL' Internet.

The £25 and below, you can add a 'UL' internet bolt on for £7.50. If you want internet, the £25 + £7.50 bolt on is pointless, when you can get more for £30.

If this is correct, I'm not sure what O2 are playing at. The networks need to react to the fact that more and more phones now make heavier use of the internet and start including larger caps to their so called 'UL' internet and include this with middle range tariffs, not just £30+.

All tariffs will come with unlimited texts now..
Theres a new £25pm 24mnth contract with the iPhone..
A few new iPhone tariffs dotted about, some with less minutes now but unlimited texts..
1 free bolt on available as usual on £30+ tariffs (o2 to o2, web, fixed line)..
A few new sim onlys..
Voicemail is no longer free
4:1 whilst roaming on texts no longer included
Smart phone bolt on (web and wifi) is +£5 on £30+ tariffs (not free) + blackberry bolt on £7.50 *not 100% on this..*

Pros and cons with the changes, will benefit some and not others as expected..
Main differences really. Don't quote me on these though, as anything can happen..

Got my OH's mobile coming for renewal in next month. By looking at their tariff's and discounts being offered by their loyalty team I have decided to say bye to them and say hello to Tmobile.
I personally think the tariffs have gone from bad to worst.
Not everyone wants an unlimited texts bolt on (I personally wont use more than 60 a month). If I wanted unlimited o2 bolt on i am looking at a minimum of 25 a month on a 24 month plan, it was just 20 before. voice mail not being free will dent the extra mins they are throwing in. last not least the deals have not improved a bit. If I am not looking at Iphone, deals are not at all competitive when compared to current Orange or T-mobile deals.
