O2 New Retention Tariff Discount 500 / Discount 750

eljmayes

I've been with them for five years now and spend 40 quid and above a month (mainly on texts). I'm hoping to get around 400 minutes and 1000 texts for 25 quid a month in March when I upgrade- though I am prepared to pay up to one hundred quid for a new phone.

Hey guys, I registered just to let you know how I got in with my contract renewal today.

Basically, last year I managed to get them to half the price of my contract (Online 200 - 200 mins, 500 txts) which should of been £30, but I was paying £15. Well, they would not renew this, and I couldn't even get close to them matching it, the best they could do was the same tariff with a rubbish phone but on an 18 month contract.

So after 3 phone calls, several people, 3 very long conversation, and a trip to the o2 shop, I managed to get them to offer me the Online talker 25, which is 250 mins, 150 txts for £20 a month, on an 18 month contract, but managed to get the Nokia 6131 with a blue tooth headset bundled.

I don't know how people were able to get better deals than that - they were telling me that because I didn't spend enough money with them, they couldn't offer me a brilliant deal like last time. One thing I did do however, is go to the Upgrade department, rather than going to cancel. So maybe I made a mistake here, but I was finding it impossible to break them down, so gave in.

Still, not a bad deal for a phone contract.

Three do 150 minutes and 750 texts for £12.50 a month so I'd barter a bit more- so long as you are spending 15 quid plus they should offer you something better.

there are no k-610 phones on EBay at all.......is that because they are new or rare or rubbish???
Maybe if i ask them to tie me in for 18 mnths i'll get the N73 & £15 a mnth tariff too......doubt it ......defo call 100....2......and 2 again for cancelling

You should have rang the retentions department and said that you were thinking of leaving them because you had seen better deals offered on 3. This was my first call to Retentions too. I am happy with what I got so not complaining.

If you wish to get a new O2 deal, 'findmeamobile' are doing an excellent cash back deal.
400 xnet minutes anytime, 100 sms and free phone. 18 months free line rentals on a 18 month contract. I have previously used them to get a 12
