I've been with O2 for 2 years on the Online 200 tariff:

£30 a month, inc 200 anytime minutes, 500 texts, 500 WAP minutes, and 1mb of GPRS data.

As I was out of contract last week, I rang today to see what they could offer......this is what they've done:

Credited £60 to my account,
Added 200 extra texts for 3 months,
Cut the monthly fee by 50% to just £15.

This means that in essence, for the next 12 months, my total bill will be £10!

I'm on O2 I get 1000 anytime minutes and 150 texts for £35 a month

or I could have had 750 mins and 750 texts for the same price.

so you still arent getting the best deal in the world, considering you are a longstanding existing customer. Its not bad by any means though.

True i'm not getting the best deal in the world, but I don't even use 200 minutes a month, or 500 texts: ie I never go over what I get for 'free'.

On those terms, I think you'd be hard pushed to find a deal cheaper.

I think one of my friends gets about 600 mins a month and loads of texts for a tenner but shes only ever had a mobile with o2 so she must have been with them 6 years or so now.

I assume you must be on some version of o2 500 double bundle as o2 max cannot be made that cheap. As such this is only a promo deal so will end after 3 or 6 months dependant on where you got your phone from. Did they give you a bolt on 50 free? As that is the only way you could be paying £35 with 150 sms.

Good tariff the o2 500. No longer available to new customers so keep on it

I got it online the double minutes last for the duration of the contract.

I even rang up to check I was that surprised its such a good deal. DOn't know if they are still doing it though

Did you buy it in January? If so you probably got the deal they had on for 2 weeks, i thought this was only for staff (and at that only one of the i-mode phones), evidently not.

Unless of course you upgraded in which case you could be on the version where you get the double bundle promo for ever, bargain.

There are so many variations of the same tariff its unreal.

Yep January I saw it advertised just before my contract on my old mobile finished with three so it was cheaper to have them overlapping for a month rather than miss out on it.

A couple of my friends managed to get really cheap ones too. One of my friends has a contract that I think is O2 I've never seen it on the o2 website though so maybe its orange its through someone like carphone warehouse and shes had 4 months with 2000 minutes a month and now shes going down to 1000 not sure whether thats peak or off peak though and thats something like £20 a month because the provider is giving her a cashback offer, I think she gets 500 texts as well which is just a ridiculously good deal.
