O2 New Retention Tariff Discount 500 / Discount 750
Comments
-
I've just rang retentions and been offered the following:
Discount 500
500 mins x net
1000 texts
£100 credit
no phone
12 month contract
All for £25 per month, works out at £16.67 a month with credit
If I wanted a handset (Nokia e65, 6300, se w610i, k800i)
I wouldn't get the credit
If I wanted the nokia n95 it would cost £199.00 and my texts would drop to 400 a month.
I already have a samsung U600 but I would really like the n95 as a second phone, if I look at ebay the n95 is selling for more than £199.00
Has anyone seen any better deals? The retentions guy wouldn't budge on £25 per month even if I dropped the amount of texts.0 -

Does anyone know what the 02 number is to ring for my PAC? I don't have any credit on my 02 sim so can't ring directly from the phone, and i don't really want to put credit on due to buying a contract from 3.0

Thanks. Getting myself a sim free P1, so will probably go for this and sell the 580 to offset that cost and use the good t-mobile data bolt on with this. Happy days.0 -
After send off my cancellation later to O2, I've offered two deals to keep my line active:
1. 25 anytime any network + 25 msg per month
OR
2. 600 off-peak mins to O2/Landline
These two deals are free of charge ( O2 will credit to my account to pay off the rental).
I don't know which one should I pick, deal 1 is convenient, but, with 25 mins and 25 txt, I guess that's not really enough for me.
Any good suggestions?0 -
go for the off peak minutes! 25 cross network minutes would only cost you (at 20p/min) £5SLC: £13000+
Quidco: £131.24 (paid) + £0 (validated) = £131.24
Valued Opinions: £75 (paid) + £52.30 (received) + £4.50 (pending) = £131.80
StudentPanel: £250 -

Just wondering if i stand a chance:
Basically trying to cut my phone down majorly as i've just bought a house and dont need these minutes anymore:
I am with O2 pay £50.00 month with 1000 free texts, 2000 weekend minutes and 1000 any network anytime minutes. I didnt mind paying as my partner lives away from me and so we easily used them. BUT we have just bought a house and so i dont need them anymore and i am wondering if i can cut down.
Been with o2 for 5 years now and they have always been really good to me, i upgraded my phone 4 months ago and so when i e-mailed them to see if i could help they said they cant do anything until after January 2008. Is it worth giving them a ring? as really need the money.
Thanks:j MOVING TO AUS 12th JULY 2009 WOOHOO :j0
