O2 New Retention Tariff Discount 500 / Discount 750

I think it is just luck on who you get. I called up not expecting to stay with o2 and I asked for my PAC code. I wasn't demanding for an offer to make me stay and just told her that I had seen a better tariff elsewhere.
I know everyone should be offered the same deal but there are lots of factors that come into it. Is it nearly home time? Do they need the sales to meet a target? It may even come down to the day of the week and time. I am sure a salesperson would be generally happier just after lunch on a friday afternoon.
Keep trying and you will get a good offer0 -
Heh yeah, I rang up quite late and the guy sounded like he'd had enough (and REALLY didn't want me railing into him, which I verily did because by that point I was truly hacked off). He just fobbed me off with a couple of crap offers and 'there's nobody else to speak to about this, these are the best deals we can offer you' spiel. Rubbish.
Gonna try again tomorrow... Woop!0 -
I managed to negotiate 200 xnet mins plus 500 texts for £15 per month with £100 credit for not taking a new handset. Basically £80 for a year.
I am pretty happy with this. Was previously on online 50 tariff at £19 per month.0 -
Hi Guys,
My wife is has an o2 Genie SIM - Pay as you GO £10/pm.
Was wondering if anyone has tried to upgrade their phone with O2 - when on a Pay as you Go tariff?
Wonder if they can offer anything competitive?
She's after an EF61 or 6111 pink - I have found them for £70 (EF61) and £90 (6111) so far.
Cheers

Hi everyone, a newbie here whose 12month O2 200 2005 (£30.99/month) is about to expire.
I would like the Sony K800i, with at least 200mins and 200 texts per month on a 12month contract - any idea what sort of price I should be looking to pay a month, and if I should expect to pay something for the handset ?
Grateful for any response ...0 -
If you argue well you should get that down to £15 per month. As for the handset cost it depends how much your annual spend was each month on average0

Thanks charltonfan1 for the quick response.
The bill was always £30.99 each month, and I tended to have about 20 minutes and 50 texts left over each month, but I am using more now so wouldn't want to get less minutes and texts.
