Attention :O2 to charge for all 0844/0845/0870/0800 calls including old contracts

jatt

Hi everybody,

I upgraded my contract in July and they send me a letter confirming 0870/0845 will remain included in my allowance.

Should I wait for them to inform me about these new changes or go ahead with a written cancellation request?

Thanks in advance

So what do we know?

O2 are going to start charging for 0870 etc numbers. Does this affect CPW customers? I was told that they would be included for at least 12 months so I have already contacted Charles Dunstone's office about this. Not really worth cancelling as on a free contract but might cancel anyway if I can time it right to get up to date with my cashback. Then I can take out another contract with the CPW group and get another free phone!

O2 have insisted that CPW charge . They will start doing so from 4/10/2007.

They won't be charging me! They've said that they'll be included for 12 months and they shall be!

I just got an sms from O2 saying they will start charging from 28th September for 0844/5 numbers - Gutted!
Does anyone know what providers still allow 0844 numbers?

That is the ONLY advantage O2 have at the moment, they don't have high speed net, don't update your mins instantly, don't do video calling.

I think if they go ahead with this they will loose and enourmous amount of custom!

The ONLY reason I have an O2 contract is because of the 08 numbers, otherwise I wouldn't bother.

Should we start a e-petition calling for O2 to stop this?

This is disgusting! I've just had the text through from O2.

So, to call any breakdown organisation (0800 number) will now cost me 20p a minute, to call any big company (0870/0800) will cost me 20p a minute!

I'm still in the minimum term of my contract but will be seeing what they say about cancelling for this!

How about we get a Virgin contract? And use the 07744 numbers to ring 08 numbers?

I think I might just do that!

I phoned O2 this morning after getting the same text.

I was told that as O2 have changed my contract, I am able to cancel it early.

I still have 7 months left on an 18 month contract, but have been told that I can cancel.

My 12 months contract with O2 ends in a month's time. I have given my 30 days cancellation notice. This morning someone from O2 called me and offered me:
100 x network mins, no text for £15, with a new Nokia 73, or £100 without. Or
100 mins 50 text £15 with no phone and £75 cashback.
I said I will think about it, and I made a point re the 08 numbers inclusive. She said 3 times that it will be included because mine will be an old tariff. I am not sure can I trust her or not. I have asked her to make a note on my account screen.
