O2 Sim only offer good?

DBGage

Could anyone help me with this?

I've been in touch with O2 and they're offering me 500 minutes, unlimited texts and 500 MB Data for £17.00 per month. I'll give £150.00 cash back credit on your account. Your monthly bill will be adjusted from £150.00 so 17*8 = £136.00 will be adjusted in 8 months.

Vodafone have 365 days, 300 minutes , 500 texts , 250 MB mobile internet data Includes 750MB of UK Wi-Fi for £9.

Can anyone see through these figures etc and see which is the best deal?

They make no sense to me. How long is the contract? What's 17*8=£136?

And how can you compare 300m+500t+250Mb to 500+Unltd+500? How much do you actually need? 200+300+500 is available for free with Ovivo.

It's hard to believe...

Easy to find a sim only deal costing £11 with 500 mins, 1GB and unlimited texts - and that took about 1 minute to find. That's just a 12 month contract with a micro sim and a free gift thrown in.

I expect there are similar if not better deals if people don't mind actually paying for their bundles and without a phone.

The O2 offering isn't the best that I can see. I'd recommend a 30 day sim only (or PAYG) unless you get a excellent deal as you are not locked into anything.

• OVIVO (run on Vodafone) is very competitive but the internet can be v.poor at times and full of adverts. It's PAYG.

• Tesco (run on O2) are offering 750mins, 5000 texts and 2GB for £12.50 at the moment. It's a 30 day contract.

• Three are offering all-you-can-eat data, 2000 mins and 5000 texts for £18 per month. It's a 30 day contract.

And?
The OP was comparing £9 and (seemingly) £11 and asked which was the best.

Orange/EE have notices in their windows for SIM only customers, £11 reduced to £8.50. 1000 mins, 1GB data ? texts

T-mobile SIM only, 12 months contract, through mobilephonesdirect, £8 per month before cashback, £4 per month after cashback, for 250 anytime minutes, 500 texts, 500mb data.

This was just a very quick google, so there may be better deals out there

How many minutes/texts/data do you need OP?
