Ok guys, we had our Q1 2008 meeting last night, and the changes are good for you data fans.


Basically, most of the tariffs stay the same except for these changes:

-There is no longer a Leisure Time tariff - it was proving unpopular

-The £20/month 18-month tariff (or £25/month 12 month, or £15/month 24 month) now has 25 more minutes and texts, bringing it up to 75 minutes and 100 texts

-There is no longer a £40/month or £50/month tariff (18-month), there is now a £45/month tariff (18-month) which gives you the same ammount of minutes and texts etc as the £50/month tariff used to


Ok, and the major change is: Unlimited is truly here - there is no fair usage policy anymore on the new unlimited packages.

Basically, with all £35/month tariffs and above on 18-month contracts (or £30/month and above on 24 month), you get to choose ONE of the following bolt-on's for free:

-Unlimited O2 to O2 calls
-Unlimited Anytime X-Net Texts
-Unlimited Landline Calls
-Unlimited Evening and Weekend calls
-Unlimited Data
-200 Anytime X-Net minutes

Please note: instead of a 'fair usage policy', there is an 'excessive use policy'. Difference being O2 are saying "so long as customers use their voices to talk with, their fingers to text with and their phones to browse with, it's unlimited". Basically meaning, if you try and use your phone as a modem with your computer etc, don't, because you'll incur charges and it won't be free.

On the £35/month+ 18 month tariffs (and, again, £30/month+ 24 month), you can also add one more of the above bolt ons for £7.50 a month.


Ok, and if you don't use enough data to warrant £7.50 a month on your contract, O2 are offerering Web Daily. Basically, much like Web 'n' Walk do on T-Mobile, you can use the internet on your phone all you want and never get charged more than £1 in a day. So if you know theres a particular day during the month your going to need it, like a day trip or something, you can use it all you want and the most you'll get charged is £1.


Oh, and Broadband can also be added for £7.50 a month, it can't be used as your free bolt-on, but 8MB broadband with free wireless router etc for £7.50 a month isn't bad. Especially when moneysupermarket.co.uk gave it 10/10...


Anyway, there you have it, 1st Feb these will come into effect. Enjoy

Questions for O2 those in the know pls: OH and I are considering abandoning PAYG for Simplicity tariff: if 1 of us is in France (for eg), having bought My Europe Extra, can the O2 mobile in the UK call the O2 mobile in France as part of the unlimited O2 to O2 calls? With My Europe Extra, receiving calls is free so am I right to assume this would work.
Coping T Mob's £1 a day browsing is good.
If we join Simplicity, do we have to do it online to get the unlimited O2 to O2 calls?
Lastly, if we go for it and O2 change or scrap the Simplicity tariff, can we continue on the original or would we have to literally take it or leave it? cheers.

Is this only for new customers or existing customers too?

Whats happening with the Simplicity tarrifs? The one where you get 1500 xnet off peak minutes and unlimited 02 calls.

[Running Water]

I hope they update their cross-network charges on Pay & Go.
