O2 Online PAYG Minimum monthly top

jediknight007 · 25-12-2004, 03:53

Hi, I would just like to ask whether you had to top up £10 every month to use the O2 service? Maybe I didn't read it right on the website. I know you have to top up £10 a month to receive the 300 free text messages, but if you aren't bothered about these free texts and you just wanna use your O2 SIM and not top up every month, can you still use it? I'm just a bit confused because on the tariff page for O2 Online PAYG Talkalot, it says the minimum monthly tariff is a £10 top-up. So does that mean unless I top up £10 EVERY month, I will not be able to use my O2 SIM?

Also, you know the two O2 Home Bolt-ons (Anytime 100 for £9.99 and Off-peak 250 for £4.99)? You pay by using the credit on your balance right? Does that mean if I was to top up £10 every month, as well as getting the 300 free text messages and GPRS, I will also be paying for the Bolt-On as well (after I have subscribed) and thus, I also get the calls?

For example, say I subscribe to the Off-peak 250 Bolt-On. Then if I topped up £10 one month, I would have £5.01 remaining for that month and I will have 250 off-peak calls and 300 text messages to my disposal?

Its says on there site you need to top up 10 a month, to get the texts they mean.

For example, say I subscribe to the Off-peak 250 Bolt-On. Then if I topped up £10 one month, I would have £5.01 remaining for that month and I will have 250 off-peak calls and 300 text messages to my disposal? THIS WOULD BE RIGHT

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I have 02 PAYG - and have topped up twice (£10 each) in the last year. I hardly use it, but don't have any probs.

Bloody hell! Calm down..........CHEERS MAN. That's like better than many of the contract tariffs out there, especially the Anytime 50 for £9.99. So topping up £10 a month will get me 50 Anytime minutes and 300 texts the same way. OMG.

Merry Christmas to you as well.

No wait, I mean 100 Anytime minutes! It's the O2 Home 100 Bolt-on available online for £9.99 a month. Woah, that's 100 Anytime minutes to any network and 300 texts a month by topping up £10 a month! That's way better than the £20+ pay monthly tariffs some networks offer.

Lol, I got mixed up with the other Bolt-on that you get on the High-Street for £10 a month where you get 50 Anytime minutes AND 50 texts.

Ok wait, I think I may have gone too overexcited. I don't exactly understand what this description of the O2 Home Bolt-On is saying:

"O2 is the only UK mobile network that enables you to make lower-cost calls from home. In fact, with O2 Home, you can make calls on your Pay & Go mobile from the equivalent of 2p per minute from your postcode area. Your chosen O2 Home minutes are for use within your registered postcode - you may get home rates further a field but this is not guaranteed."

Does that mean I can only use them calls from my HOUSE phone? If not, then does it then mean I can only use the calls on my mobile if I'm at home? I don't get it. If this is a 'package' for cheaper calls from home to mobiles, then why the heck is it under mobiles for? Shouldn't O2 have a separate section for home phone deals or something? Or is it really a tariff that will give me 100 minutes of calls from my mobile to ANY network at ANYTIME for the O2 Home 100 Bolt-On?

Damn.....looks like I might have to go and buy an O2 SIM card from the high-street instead and get the 'proper' Bolt-on where for £10 a month, I get 50 Anytime minutes and 50 text messages. Stupid crappy 'Online' SIMs, lol.
