02 Retentions thread 2

Hi Guys,

I just got a new N95 with 600 mins, 500 texts for £20/month when I threatened to move to 3.
I am happy with that but the killer is they offered me unlimited 8Mb wireless broadband for £2.50/month. They are ringing me to arrange installation next week and giving me the router for free.
That is an amazing deal, grab it if you can.

I too have a simplicity deal (online, 400 mins, 1000 texts and unlimited 02- 02 calls).I have had it for just over 30 days. I also have a T-Mob contract that is due for termination this month, but I cannot get a signal on T-Mob now where I live, so I dropped it down to the lowest plan ages ago. Anyway, when I rang T-Mob to cancel, they offered me Flext 35 with a £180 cashback credit to my bill, that makes it £17.50 a month for 18 months, with a free Sony Ericsson W890i. I had no intention of taking it, as it wont work where I live, damn good deal though. So, I thought id tell 02 that T-Mob had offered this deal to change back to them, and, to my shock, they matched it!!

So, I now have 600 mins, 1000 texts and unlimited calls to anyone on 02 for £17.50 on an 18 month contract, with a free Sony Ericsson W890i in silver,which I love, so, I am very happy! Sorry T-Mob, but im still cancelling!

hi

wondering if any advice as a bit confused.

I am looking into the o2 "online 15" . It is a 30 day contract sim,. it has the free texs and calls, but also the free o2 - o2 calls.

Looking into it for my son, who goes through the pay as you go like water. I dont want him to get a contract as of yet.
Does the o2 - o2 calls mean he can call any o2 no.such as payas you go , contract with carphone w/h etc and not be charged,

Just seems too good to be true, any pit falls to beware of .

thanks

When my contract ran out last October I went from £25 a month to the sim only £15 a month and monthly contract for 200 anytime minutes, 200 texts, unlimited O2 to O2 calls and some web usage but no phone. My DH's contract ran out last week and he rang retentions and got £15 a month, new phone, 200 minutes, 400 texts, unlimited O2 to O2 and some web usage and even asked them if they could throw in a blue tooth headset which they did. Was a bit miffed he had a new phone in that too so rang retentions. Now waiting for my new Samsung and on the same deal as DH but forgot to ask for a blue tooth headset - though I never use them anyway! Can't believe how easy it was and I've a friend who is paying £35 a month with 02 and just got herself into an 18 month contract with them just because she likes texting and was really happy to have 1000 texts which is just not worth £20 a month more than this deal to me at all!

What tariff are you on and is it 18 mths?

Im due to upgrade next month and am looking at the samsung g600. Im currently on 500 mins and 400 text for £25 mth on a 12 mth contract. Concerned I wont get a better deal

I did but that was 11 mths ago. I see they still do 12 month deals online so should be able to get one through retentions

Hi,

I got Online 50 Bonus with SMS add on
100 Minutes
225 texts
£19 a month minus £15 a month discount = £4 a month
£50 credit for no handset.
12 month contract...

I was going to port to Virgin and then do a cashback deal back with O2 so was set in leaving.

Regards

Barry
