Depends on your minutes:

600xnet seems to be discounted to £20/month

1200xnet discounted to £27/mth

If it suits your needs then good if not, look elsewhere.

HTH,

OMM.

PS: If you're happy to move to another network there are deals to be had - BUT involve cashback (a dirty word I know)!

Can you get a retention deal with only 200 xnet minutes at a cheaper price? or do they want to only give away a lot of minutes so that they can charge at a higher rate?

I will be in my new contract period in the middle of March so waiting. I have been offered £130 cash by phones4u to go onto a new O2 contract of 24 months, 600 mins, unlimited texts with a new Nokia 5800 for £30 per month. Not a bad offer as it works out to be roughly £24ish per month when you take the cashback offer off the monthly cost. However, having seen the retentions offers here not sure whether to take it now or not??

Are O2 really offering £20 for 600 mins / unlimited texts / new phone / free O2 broadband home? How many people have been offered that? If they are offering that as a "standard" retention offer then there is not competition to that as it works out at something like £12.50 a month!!

having read through most posts, seems like offers are available to long term contract renewers.
wondered if anyone on monthly sim had any offers
thanks

I got

Blackberry 8900 Curve
600 minutes
1000 texts
Unlimited Blackberry data bolt on (for email and internet)
£20 / month on 18 month contract.

I went for the 8900 as the camera was 3.2mp where as the Bold is a 2mp.

for the bold i could only get the £27 deal...they would not discount the £35 tariff down to £20. But with the curve I could get both deals. That was just in my experience.

FWIW I chose the bold because it has 3G, which makes browsing a lot quicker in non-wifi areas.

Yeah, bolton offered too. You may be able to get two if you already have one...but not 100% sure about that.

I don't think that this will be available to everyone but I secured a 12 month deal with 600 mins/unlimited texts/unlimted texts for 25 quid with a Nokia N95 8GB tonight. That took nigh on two weeks to get though, and I have been with them for 9 years.
