O2 New Retention Tariff Discount 500 / Discount 750

huwrobs

Hi,

I'm on O2 Discount 500 at the moment, 500 x-net minutes and 200 texts, all for £20 a month, however my contract's about to finish 10th of July, so I'm wondering, do you reckon I'd be able to get a better deal off O2? I dont really want to go onto an 18 month contract.

so do you think theres any chance they'll gimmie a better deal? has anyone else just upgraded their contracts, that were on discount 500 BEFORE the upgrade? Whats the best thing to say to retentions?

Many thanks,

Huw :beer:

I'm on this tariff and was offered the online 200 and a K750i free.

I asked for a W810i but was told it would be £40.

I just had to share this - I told 02 I was thinking of leaving them so they said i can have;

500 texts & 100 anytime any network minutes for £10 a month!!

And I don't want a new phone so they are paying me £100 cash on my next billing date...just saw the post about upgrading the handset anyway and just flogging it on Ebay..now thinking maybe I should haev done that!

Well pleased with the monthly deal though :j

O2 actually rang me yesterday to discuss my "soon to be ending" contract. I have 6 weeks left so this seems a bit strange. I told him to ring back today as he phoned during the England game (bad move on his part).

July 4th because if you cant get a new deal you need to give them one months notice that your cancelling your contract.

Ok guys just make sure you check your contract terms when it comes through as i was offered the 02 250 but on the t&c i had today it's 02 100. Been sorted and new terms on its way.

Also people who had a new 3G phone make sure you request a 3G sim as they did not bother sending one to me and 3G wont work without it. Also being sent out.

Hi Folks, Me again!!

Just phoned O2 Retentions again 30 mins later and asked them to beat the deal I was offered and now they are offering the following:

Discount 500 - 500 X Network Mins
500 Free Texts per month

£15.00 per month

£75.00 Credit applied to my account straight away no need to wait for cashback etc etc.. as i want to keep my handset - This will be a new 12 month contract even though no handset taken

So that works out at -

£15.00 x 12 months = £180.00 - £75.00 Credit = £105.00 for 12 months

Therefore = £8.75 per month after discount etc

where did the £75 credit come from?
