    I have just switched to 150 minutes and 300 texts for £9.79 per month. :T

    No contract and you keep your phone but that suits me at the moment as not working.

    Details can be found here
    http://shop.o2.co.uk/sim-only-simplicity

    Other deals include 300 mins and 600 texts for £15.00

    worth checking out.

    For the last 3 years I have always had the same retention deal:

    100 mins
    300 text
    £10 per month (£100 cashback)
    £20 net cost for the year.

    can you believe this,

    i phoned up yesterday to give my 30 days notice,

    they said did i need a new phone?

    i said no

    they said to keep me, give me an 18th contract for £0???? the bill would be £10 a month but they would credit the bill wilth £180 so it would be for nothing




    250 mins... 300 texts!!! i snapped it up!

    WOW! Was this your old contract or an entirely new offer?
    Does this mean that O2 credit is now £180 (instead of £150)?
    Cracking deal, man!
    Tough times never last longer than tough people.

    Great deal. Immediate cashback from O2? That would do me nicely.

    Was it easy to get?

    yes its from 02, all i did was phone up and ask to give 30 days notice,

    i couldnt believe it, i dont get a new phone but have n95 anyway!
    but to have minutes for nothing for 18 months, i wouldnt turn that down!

    it wasnt hard to get, i didnt haggle or nothing , i just wanted to give notice:D

    Yes immediate credit, really easy never had to barter at all over it as I was just prepared to leave but they offered it straight away. Every year I just ring up and renew, don't even spend anything as just use thre free texts/mins.

    Lucky you! I am very envious of your new offer! Basically a free contract! What phone model?

    I've just upgraded to a free Nokia 5800 (the touch screen one) for £20 a month, unlimited 02 - O2, 400 X network mins and 1000 texts.
    :D
    I was on 200 mins 200 texts for £30.

    I asked why carphonewarehouse could do the N96 for free on £35 a month but they wouldn't match it :rolleyes:
