  • I'm with Rushabh, probably going to go it over the weekend after mailing their Chief Exec, it's just ridiculous.

    Anyway, back to clearing out the loft now. :T

    Infact I was told to take simiplicity and see if situation changes after 1-2 months. I don't have time of keep looking at deals every month. But anyways, I can understand the current economic situation but don't understand that O2 can loose customers straight away with such attitude. ..... Anyways, its time for a change and move on....
  • you're right, I was really surprised at their bullish attitude - surely it's better to keep customers at the moment, make sure they're ok and chase newer customers a little later on. I'm with you I don;t have the time to keep checking each deal - I had a look around last night and found a good deal on a Nokia 5800 on Vodaphone for £20 p/m and will probably go with that

    O2 have always been great previously but this current trend of their is appalling, anyway I've cancelled my contract with them after about 8-9 years and am going to move on... good luck too!

    My contract is coming up for renewal in a month from now.. I am on a online 35 tariff discounted to GBP 20 with 600 mins, unlimited web and a free phone. Looking at the climate, how to you weigh the chance for me to have the same discounted tariff carried on for another 12 or 18 months with a blackberry bold?

    I'm just writing my e-mail to Matthew Key the chief exec now, I'll let people know how I get on in the future hopefully.

    I think you may be lucky, but it seems that more than likely they'll offer you this £25.00 monthly deal that they seem to be offering everyone.

    Good luck!

    This is the O2 board, you'd be better posting on the 3 board where more people are likely to see it.

    Would that be a similar situation for me?

    I am about to finish an 18 month contract where I have been paying ~£35 a month. Any chance of a Blackberry bold with a reduction in the tariff? Is phoning much better than using the online upgrade system?

    chances of getting a discount might be low, but it wont cost you anything to find out .. so, phone 202 from your mobile. select the option which says 'if you are thinking of leaving' and see what they can do.
