o2 contract about to expire.. Help

Deal_Guru

Hi,

I had a 12 month O2 contract through mobileshop that is about to expire by end of August. I signed up with 11 months free offer redeemed through cashback.

I am on a £35 plan which gives me 400 mins and 100 texts. I use O2 plan to call international using 0844 access.

I need some advice on how to go further as I clearly dont want to continue paying £35 for this plan. I want to continue on o2 though to make use of free international minutes.

1. Should I sign up new contract through other cashback sites and port my old number. It sounds good that I can take up new phone, port my number and get almost 11 mths free again. Anything that I am missing?

2. Should I call O2 to offer me some credit and reduced monthly plan with almost same amount of minutes.
I am worried about the timing and not sure about the process. If i call o2 retentions now and provided they offer me a good deal, would they immediately put me on the new contract and I may not get my final bill from the existing contract which I need for the final cashback payment. The good thing abt this option is that I wont need to submit cashbacks for this year.

How does it work?

have a look at their "simplicity" package if you are not bothered about a new phone (check the terms for 0844, worse case it's only 30 days notice to quit at ANY time)
