Hi,

I recently ported my number from O2 offline to O2 Online Sim Only tariff (Simplicity) back in September (after the Non-geographic change). I tried upgrading yesterday but I have been told that, although I can upgrade, I am not eligible for any Loyalty discount as I have ported (even though it is within O2!!). The girl said you are only eligible after 12 months.

I rang again today and I was advised by someone else that (hopefully) I should be eligible in January which is 4 months from the start of my Simplicity tariff as it takes a while for their system to recognise the number.

Does anyone who is/was on Simplicity have any experience of this, and know if Loyalty discount is offered on this tariff?


Thanks.

Hi all,
Just wanted to post the deal I got from o2 retentions today.

Been with o2 online since July 2005. Current expiring deal set up in July 2006:

Online £35 Texter - 750 mins + 750 texts, ITS, 1gb WAP use (?) 18 month contract.

I called and said I wanted to know when my contact was up as I was thinking of joining Three's Mix & Match 700 (£21 per month) with a free Nokia 6120. The guy asked me if i had any friends/family on o2 as some of their new tariffs include unlimited o2 to o2 calls. I said this wouldn't really be of benefit to me.

He came back with:
Free Nokia 6500 Classic (they don't do the 6120), 18 month contract on my existing tariff but reduced to £20 per month, with ITS + the same wap surfing thing I had before.

I didn't haggle and just went for it. Maybe I could have got more by playing hardball and speaking to the manager etc. but i couldn't really be fussed. There are network coverage issues etc with 3 and my o2 reception is always spot on - it's a good saving so i'm happy.

Cheers all.

I think it was this number: 08706007102

The key is, pick a package, pick a price point. Tell them "i want to spend 20 pounds a month", then let them offer you something. Keep the o2 website up and pick a package or 2 higher - ask how much they can do it for and push for the original price you wanted.

I'm not exactly a high user - my bills generally top out at 35 quid a month, yet I still got a 20 pound contract worth 35 a month.

Hey guys,
My contract is up for renewal and I always haggle hard every year! This year they're really trying to push an 18 month contracts but I want to stick to 12. The deal I've been offered on an 18 month is

Nokia N95
600 mins
1000 texts
£20 a month

Has anyone managed to get something like this for a 12 month contract? The best they've offered so far is the same but for £25.

lovenkrands

been keeping an eye on this thread, so I had an idea of what you could get if you tried. Here's what i got:

se w910i free
400 mins
1000 texts
02 to 02 free
18 month contract
£20 per month

not great but better than I was offered before and I'm happy! :j

Lovenkrands, it's impossible to know if you got a good deal or not as you don't specify how much per month the contract is for.

O2 are useless,
Currenty almost finished a 12 month o2 contract, called them up to see what I could get if I renew, and they are all pants...

Last year I phoned up to quit, and they were quick to not only match, but beat the deal...

Maybe I am just unlucky to who I get through to, will try again in a bit... any suggestions?

Looking ideally for a G600 12 month contract.... Got til the end of the month till mine runs out...

Although Virgin did offer free phone, 150 mins, 750 txts, £25 for 12 month (VM customer), but staying with o2 saves some hassle...
