o2 - checking remaining minutes

  • I thought O2 charged for calling 0800 numbers?

    Perhaps this one is a special case?

    For cpw o2 contracts you can call them on (free from the handset - DON'T start!) on 0870 111 7200 to check your balance, remaining minutes and/or speak with them. If you dial the 0800 number form the handset I suspect you'll be charged. For O2 itself it's 202 from the handset (or 0870 241 0202 - free from their handset). Always wonder why people don't just look these things up or ask the dealer!
  • You can also check it online at o2.co.uk once you've registered.

    Also, most phones have a counter to keep track of mins, texts, and data usage. I just reset mine every month and then i know where I'm at. The only small problem is that it also counts minutes that you don't get charged for (eg if you have free voicemail), but it's a pretty good indication.
    If this has been of any use please click on THANKS, it makes me look good.
  • Hi there,

    Ive just got a new contract with o2 and want to know what number I can dial to check my remaining minutes left from my tarif.

    If anyone knows that would be great.

    Thanks in advance

    I might point out the obvious: dial 100 from you handset, it is free if you are on paymonthly deal I presume you are.
  • there is a number to call O2 remaining minutes ......21202


    ......21202 .. .. send a blank text messages and they will send back your remaining minutes and texts ... this is for contract phones ....
  • I always call 202 from my o2 handset they send you a text back with the mins / txts you have left or you can request you present £ balance also
    regards
