O2 New Retention Tariff Discount 500 / Discount 750

iwanttosave_2

Just phoned and got mine, got 500mins and 500texts with a W580i for £15 a month.

Its not much better than what I was already on but has given me an extra 100 mins cos I went way over last month.

Hey,

Just thought I'd get your opinions on how this sounds. I'm currently on 500 mins and 400 texts (both anytime any network). I'm paying £15pm for this. 12 month contract.

I rang up O2 today about my contract ending soon. The lady I spoke to, Abbey, was very good. She offered me an 18month contract with 750 mins and 750 texts (again, both anytime any network), 1MB of data, a free Sony Ericsson K850i (due to be released on October 15th), for £20pm. I've asked her to put this deal through but I still have the 14 days cooling off period in which I can decide otherwise.

Personally, I think this is a very good deal and was surprsed to get the phone free, and all of this no hassle, especially compared to the long drawn out process it was last year. I would have preferred to stay on my contract at same price for 12months and the k850i for free. She seemed very honest throughout all this I have to say and was always willing to check. She said my deal wasn't being done anymore (something to do with the texts technically being a bolt on). She said 12month contracts are basically £5 more expensive. I was informed that if she were to offer me a contract that was £15, that the system wasn't actually letting her put through that phone, even if I paid some towards it. It seemed not even to be an option. I do have to say I believe what she was saying.

Just wanted to get some other people's opinions as I still have the cooling off period if I want to change. As I said, I personally think it's a very good deal, especially as the phone is free of charge.

Also, does anyone know if there is any colour choice in that particular phone?

Thanks,

Graham.

Hi,
My Contract was up so I contacted 02 and did the usual "I want to give my 30 day notice, when will I get my pac code".
I was asked what phone deal I was going for - I said either the w880i or N95.
They first offered me the w880i 750 mins/750 text for £25 p/m (18 Month Contract) If I wanted the N95 I would have to pay £199.99 for it.
No Dice says I, I'm off to Three!
Phoned back in the afternoon explained that the man in the Three Shop had offered me N95 18 month, 700 mins/text Plus free TV and Internet bolt ons for £33. And I had seen a deal on Mobile to your door for a N95 on O2 for 21.81 p/m on a 12 month contact (300 mins 400 text).
Right says they! N95 Free, 12 month contract, 400 mins, 500 text £20 per month.
I'll call back in the Morning says I!
I called back and was offered Free N95, 600 mins, 1000 text, Long Weekend, 4mb web use plus insurance for £25 for the first 12 months the £35 for the reminding 6 Months if I decide not to upgrade at 15 Months (18 Month Contract).
Right Says I! You have a deal!
Seeing that I was paying £35 p/m for 400/500 and insurance I liked it )

just phoned o2 to cancel so they offered me 200 mins 200 txts for 20 quid on 12 month contract and the n95 is this a good deal?

Just rang them to get pac code and low and behold they have offered me sony ericsson k850i or Samsung g600 for £25 per month 600 mins X network and 1500 text per month. 18 month contract though which I didn't want, not gone for it yet but wavering!!

How much more would anyone suggest I pay to have a 12 month contract? Just don't like the idea of being tied for 18 months, bit long if i don't get on with the phone!

For that money and that many texts, plus a K850i I'd bite their hand off!! You can try for a 12 mth ctt to see how much extra they's charge but if you don't get on with the phone even 12 mths might be unbearable! Try both phones in the shop. Or pick one and flog it if you don't like it and pick up summat else!

Tariffs have just been tweaked with (unlimited texts or O2-O2 voice calls on selected tariffs) so not sure if anything new will be in the offing next month anyway.
