    £35 per month with O2 would give you:

    600 Anytime X Net Mins
    1000 Texts
    Free Calls or Texts Sat/Sun/Mon or Free Unlimited O2-O2 Calls

    They would also apply a 20% loyalty discount to the price if you were speaking to Retentions, so £28.00 per month


    is that over 18 mths or 12?
    Wins so far this year: Mum to be bath set, follow me Domino Dog, Vital baby feeding set, Spiderman goody bag, free pack of Kiplings cakes, £15 love to shop voucher, HTC Desire, Olive oil cooking spray, Original Source Strawberry Shower Gel, Garnier skin care hamper, Marc Jacobs fragrance.

    Thats over 18 months, you can have it over 12 months but you would get 400 Anytime X Net Mins and No Free Calls or Free Texts offer Sat/Sun/Mon.

    In all honesty I think an 18 month contract is far better value, you can still upgrade your phone after 12 months.

    are you sure you can still upgrade after only 12 mths?

    Their terms say you can not upgrade to a new handset until the end of the minimum contract term?

    Its my understanding that you can upgrade after 12 months unless they have changed this in the terms and conditions lately.

    Theyre not as good as they used to be. In all the years ive been with them ive always had half price line rental and a free message bolt on when ive upgraded yet this yr they dont seem to care about keeping your custom :confused:

    There also the most expensive network around i find especially for data, 8mb for £13!!!!! Orange do 30mb for £8 and vodafone 150MB FOR £7.50!!!!! Also dont do very good tariffs, personally i dont think u can beat orange or vodafones 500 mins n unlimited texts for £35 a mth. O2 wud give u 500 mins n 500 txts for that :confused:


    MMMMMM, why am i staying with o2 :eek:


    what orange actually impies but unlimited txt is 2000.....as per fair usage policy.........u get what is called the long weekend minutes (2000) or msgs(2000) ..........from o2

    absolute rubbish! lol

    I rang 08456060618 and they were no help at all so my PAC number is being sent to me!!

    Im currently on 500 mins & 500 texts for £25 month that i got last year (should have been £35 as they said they could not action the online 500 tariff anymore but gave me it for £35 - £10 month goodwill gesture).

    My bills have been £40 - £55 month for past 8 months.

    All they said they could offer me was 400 mins and 1000 texts for £35 month on 18month contract! £30 on 24month contract!

    They kept telling me to get a sim only deal as they are the best at the moment - 400 mins & 1000 texts for £20 month only problem is i need a new phone and would prefer a 12month contract.

    I tried ringing back later but the person on the phone could see i had already asked for my pac code so was just as unhelpful!

    Any ideas on what i could try next? cheers.

    As u see its all 18mnths around.....myself got 4 contracts with diff companies...so no way out of that.........

    guess for £35 u can get the long weekends or if you r a online customer can have 750min with 100txt and the long wekend option...and a good phone...

    Called O2 today (my contract ends on Aug 2nd) and I was transferred to retention and I was offered N73 ME for £15/mth with 250 mins and 100 txts with free voicemail and 1 month rollover. I can't believe I got everything I wanted and so I accepted it.

    Please can anyone confirm if there is such a tariff, as I am not able to find that in O2 Online.

    Yesterday, I was told N73 ME will be offered to me, but when I called up today they are telling me they can only offer N73 and they never heard of N73 ME. Does anyone know if O2 offers N73 ME?.
