is it not just doubled because it was online, 1000 should be enough in a month

john0612

well i've been on the phone to them in the past 2 days and have had no joy whats so ever.

currently on
400mins
1000txts
o2 to o2
web bolt on
discount of 15pm

no discount , no offers nothing.
what you see in the shop is what's beeing offered.

i-phone usual shpeel no discount etc....

had a right cheeky git yesterday after i complained about not rewarding my loyalty , (been with them from cellnet and 1 yr away to orange) he said " i think we have more than rewarding, c'mon we gave £15pm off for 18mths"

i was raging lol.

might have to go down the pac code road and see if they contact me, if not i'll put it on sim only/pay as u go and wait till january too see if vodaphone have a price battle for the i=phone, then the rest will follow suit.

I didn't think you could get a free bolt on from o2 for the iphones any more.

Well i can assure you i have this.Doublechecked tonight by phoning them and it was confirmed :beer:
Obviously didn't want to lose a customer who has been paying on average £70 a month for the last 18 months.
The DS Lite was a added bonus and will be a extra little xmas present for my daughter.

phoned again
no deals on iphone
asked for blackberry and cheapest deal could be discounted to £25 but with no blackberry data bundle, which is just pointless and would be another £10 on top of that.

tried to palm me off with rubbish phones

just asked for PAC code , and will be sent out this evening , then she said if i decide to renew with o2 i can get a discount on home broadband for being a LOYAL customer, bloody cheek !!!! I want a discount on my phone!!!!

I upgraded a month ago and I got

Blackberry Curve 8900, 400 mins, unlimited texts, unlimited internet

£15 for 18 months!

That sounds very good. Did you ask for your PAC code before they offered this? Is the £15 deal a particular package with a discount on top?

For what???

mattsoutham

I got put through to the retentions line and got offered...

24month contract
Samsung Genio Touch
100min
Unlimited Txts
Unlimited Internet (via a 7.50 bolt on)

21.87/month (including the bolt on)


Cant help but feel I can get better than this. I'm not too fussed about the phone, I would prefer to have an older / cheaper / reliable phone, my main interest is a few minutes (1/200 is fine) sufficient txts (400 is plenty) and free internet.

Any suggestions??

If you are not bothered about the phone, sign yourself up to O2's simplicity SIM only tarriffs. Theres £100 cashback via quidco as well if you want to sign to a 12 month contract. Also, Voda are currently doing a sim only promotion 900 mins/unlimited landline/unlimited text for £12.50 or 700 mins/250 texts for £10. Only problem is its 24 month contract and u dont get a phone and you can only get it by calling them up directly (as far as I know).

Then buy a PAYG phone from Carphone Warehouse/E2save/Mobiles.co.uk .... all their PAYG stock is unlocked and you can get some really good phones for not much more than 40-50 quid.

The more I'm looking around at phones the more I want a nice one!

I was looking at the Blackberry Bolt 9700 on mobiles.co.uk and could get it with Vodaphone on the following deal...

"Blackberry 300 + Mobile Internet (24 months)": 300 minutes + Unlimited Texts with Mobile Internet and Vodafone Passport,

So after fter redemption, which I've used perfectly fine in the past, it comes to £23/month.

Does this seem like a good deal? Could I get it cheaper from O2 if I phoned them up again and quoted that price?
