O2 Web Bolt Ons?

jayzee786 · 20-08-2011, 14:48

Hi I've just recieved a new phone (LG GM360 Viewty Snap) and am wondering which Internet bolt on I should get?

I only want to go on Facebook and Twitter so am wondering wether 100MB will be sufficient.

The Basics £3 100MB 0 MMS No WiFi
The All Rounder £6 500MB 20 MMS Unlimited WiFI
The Works £10 1GB 50 MMS Unlimited WiFI

I'm more or less a FB addict

EDIT: I'm currently on the O2 Simplicity Package £10 Unlimited Texts and 100 Minutes to 01, 02, 03 numbers. Is it possible to have multiple bolt ons?

If your data bolt on runs out you can buy another one to top it up. If it were me I'd start off on the middle one and change it up or down once you have established your usage pattern.

Can I use both the internet bolt on and the simplicity bolt on ive currently got at the same time?

Simplicity is your tariff unless I'm misunderstanding something so yes you can add the bolt on to it. If you are on an older simplicity tariff you may have to move to a newer one though

You can select your Simplicity tariff which includes the Internet bolt on plus you can add an extra internet bolt on at the same time

for example, you could do Simplicity300 Works package for £25.50 and still add the extra all rounder for extra £6.00.

If you are on the older simplicity tariff, there is no need to change to the newer price, just add the internet bolt on separately.

Do not opt out of the older price, as you cannot re-opt back in at a later date.

Thanks everyone for your help. Sorry about the misunderstanding. I got confused between Tariffs and Bolt Ons.

I still retained my O2 Simplicity Unlimited Text and 100 Minutes Calls and have added the 500MB Internet Bolt On So will pay a total of £16 a month.

Regards

Yes there is. I have a simplicity sim on one of the old tariffs and if I try to add a bolt on in myO2 I get this

Sorry. There aren't any data Bolt Ons available with your tariff. If you want to buy a Bolt On, call us and we'll move you to one of our current tariffs.

Sounds like the OP was on a newer tariff anyway since they've managed to add the bolt on without any problems

I've been on Simplicity PAYG since September last year. I assume this new tariff was introduced before September last year when I signed up.
