A lot of people here talking about upgrades, do O2 not allow people to keep the same package if they renew for a new mobile? That's pretty poor if they don't. Those tariffs just put the final nail in o2's coffin as far as getting my custom again goes.

If the PAYG tariffs end up getting scrapped across all the cell networks, I'm ditching mobile phones permanently.
I do not use my mobile enough to realistically justify the payment of a monthly subscription. If the only option was to pay something like £10-15 per month, while this might get me an allowance of several hundred SMS messages and several hundred minutes of inclusive calltime, only a small percentage would be used. I'd be almost literally throwing money down the toilet every month ... or I might as well be! Also, if PAYG tariffs are eventually scrapped across the board, what about those people that only ever use cellphones for emergency purposes, and might only top up the occasional tenner every 6 months or so?

Didn't pay and go topups used to have expiry dates? I also remember something about having to make or receive a call every x amount of weeks to keep the simcard active.
Another way networks may look at recovering costs is possibly reducing the amount of freebies given out for topping up (for example, Tesco and their triple your credit offer). I just hope we don't move to the american way of being charged for receiving incoming calls on your mobile. |

If you want a new phone after your contract is up, then yes o2 would put you on the current tariff, unless you have been with o2 for years they wont give you anything, same goes for Vodafone they are even tighter than most networks.
Hmm that's different. I am with Orange and they give me the option of new phone and keeping the tarrif, new phone and new tarrif, or keep the phone and have a discount instead. |

Can't see O2 ditching pay as you go. They love their pay as you go customers more than they do their contract ones giving them the chance to win prizes every time they top up
If light pay as you go users who receive more calls than they make become economically unviable then it's possible you may see a switch to the American pricing model where you pay to receive calls as well as make them |

I'm quite happy with the new tariffs. Currently on iphone £35 a month and looking forward to changing as fed up with iphone and also the contract is too expensive.
I currently only use about 60 of my 600 free minutes and very little of my unlimited data allowance. Looking at the new tariffs, I will be able to get just exactly what I need on 18 month contract for £26 a month with a shiny new phone so I am more than happy really. |

Here is a little something I wrote regarding O2 and their tethering policy
http://o2hell.com/tethering.htm It's just a timeline and some points to consider |

http://o2hell.com/tethering.htm It's just a timeline and some points to consider For example its worth comparing your ~£30 price point with Orange. You pay £2 more with O2, but you get double the minutes (an extra 150), unlimited SMS rather than only 250, and 20 MMS chucked in. All that and Orange still charge you extra for tethering. Wonder who the real con men are?
