Keep us posted

If that includes line rental it is a very good offer as the line rental alone is usually around £13 extra.

Any good O2 retention deals going?

I just called o2 and only got offered 12 mths half price £4.75 or 6 mths free for unltd. Gutted I missed 12 mths free. Was told this and the additional mobile credit ended on April 30th. Anyone been offered any better deals ?

Hello

Just wondering, has anybody received the £100 M&S vouchers from O2? If so, how long did you have to wait for them?

In my case, I signed up a new contract around 3 weeks ago and vouchers have not been received yet.

Cheers!

Absolutely nothing will change on your current billing. Sky have simply been assigned the current O2 contracts.

Nothing will change whilst still under minimum term. Once minimum term is up, my guess is Sky will switch people over to their own t&c inc their pricing.

Sky do not do bb without landline so how long will it be before they try and force their own landline onto o2 bb cust who don't have landline with o2 but with an alternate landline supplier?

Yes, obviously I meant until end of minimum term. Once that ends, either party can do as they wish.

At a guess, this is what will happen once minimum term has ended:-

No freephone c/s, a 0844 I think sky use as they receive money from the call.

Prices aligned with that of Sky, along with t&c.

For those without O2/Sky line rental will prob have to pay more than those with O2/Sky line rental (after all line rental/calls is where the money is made going by the fact that line rental is sooo expensive these days; and you can't get ADSL/fibre broadband without line rental.

Maybe a drop in speed/stability even; more likely for those far away from their local exchange like I am.

If you are still with O2 then speak to Sky, you might get a better offer

O2: Make sure you get your home broadband discount - top up your Pay and Go mobile more than £10 by 08/05

Still receiving these texts (out of contract). Slightly confused if Sky are now 'in charge'?
