I've just got:

I've tried to push for the free home broadband but couldn't get it.
I am happy with the deal.

Well I got the LG Renior and loved the phone but returned it yesterday as I was mis sold on info

600 mins
1000 txt
web bolt on
free broadband 12 mth all for £25 pm reduced from £35

But i specifically wanted to be able to use hotmail and yahoo emails and was sold the phone for that reason. It later transpired O2 does not support hotmail at all so that explained why i couldnt configure it and a possible reason it kept crashing. But sent back as possible fault and in 14 days approval period as not upto job was sold for.

Now i need to get another phone that supports hotmail and yahoo sooooooooo can i ask the peeps in the know will the blackberry's do this as they have there own internet so to speak???
is there any other hansdsets i could use through o2 that would support hotmail and yahoo ? which blackberry is the best option to go for and best deals about on them please ??

thanks
Crystal

Hotmail and Yahoo both work on the blackberry - I have both.

You need to go to the Blackberry Internet Service O2 portal (you will get the details with the phone) and set up a new account and then provide your mail addresses and passwords - it then just works....

Ignore old info on the web about needing a paid-for Hotmail account - that ceased to be true summer 2008 when O2 upgraded their software to the level that supports Hotmail free accounts.

just got offered the £10 200 mins/ 400 texts offer with £150 cashback for not taking a phone.

ultimately it works out £240 cheaper than their best offer for taking a nokia 5800 (£15 /month 200 mins 400 text, no cashback)

probably gonna take tis £10 offer then try and pick up a new phone off line


just was wondering, does this now mean my tarriff is £10 forever, or will it go back up to £25 in 18 months time?

The subscription discounts are applied for 18 months. Although at the moment, there is no problem to renew them on another 18 month contract. :beer:
