Got it today. Paid 50 quid as the deposit. Atleast i can enjoy a smartphone for what it can really do :P also free calls and texts is the main feature i needed in my last contract So added 5 extra for 1GB data from 20 a month on PAYG 0 -

few things about o2. i am on the advance plan with my iphone 4. i got it on 30th july last - the day it came out. so obvs i am on the 18mth contract
however when i signed said contract twas for unlimited data which is fantabulous (mind i never used the gig i originally had with my original iphone!! but still). wondering if i still have this or if they have changed me inline with everyone else.
just looked at my inclusive minutes online and it doesn't mention my data allowance at all which is interesting. just mentions my 150mins/100txts/10mms. shouldn't it mention my data there too???
now my friend was on PAYG with o2 and has a smartphone. he had next to no apps on it at the time, and had all automatic data - such as push - turned off. but his credit kept vanishing. a LOT of credit. like couple hundred yoyos worth. looked up his online account and it said at supid o clock in the morning he had been on data and used like several megs worth at a time. pure and utter bollox. he wasn't on at all and he has NEVER used that kinda data. he mainly used twitter and facebook, and he had a plan that allowed that free so he should have been paying next to no data charges.
anywho he contacted o2 several times and they kept saying the were looking into it and would call him back. everytime he put credit in the phone it vanished pretty much instantly. got to the point where he couldn't even ring o2 cos he wasn't prepared to put more money in the phone, and for PAYG customers it costs to ring cc.
they eventually got back to him and said nope ain't our fault must be the phone or else you don't got something switched off (even though when he had taken the phone into an o2 store they guy there said yep everything is off and i have the same phone and stuff so i can tell it aint the phone). so basically sod the fact that we have hundreds of your yoyos you can't have it back.
friend got phone unlocked and got meteor sim. put into phone and guess what. credit is fine isn't going anywhere. so it WAS o2 and not the phone. dicks.:mad:
Howdy,
Keep an eye on your bill is my advice on this.....
I'm on the same tariff as yourself - when i signed back up to this last March 2010 on a 18 month deal it was supposed to be 150mins 100texts 10mms and unlimited internet on the phone - Nokia N97 mini. Turns out is was a promo gimmick and O2 where doing the unlimited internet till the end of March 2010, then they capped it at 2gb per month.
The same tariff now has a measly 500mb of data allowance per month.
Get onto those "very nice people" at the O2 call center and ask them what your data allowance is. I think some people have gotten out of their contracts because of this - mis-advertising and all that etc etc....
I'm only with them till September then i'll re-evaluate the situation. since most of my circle are on O2 the only benefit is that calls and texts are free. I don't even try to go onto the net to check an email because it is sooooooo slow and trying to get a connection even in town is a joke!
Their internet coverage is just sh1te!0 -
