02 - See What You Can Do - Or Can't

Advantages: Simple Tariff, Sometimes You Can Get Free Internet.
Disadvantages: Customer Care Charge You for Calling.

02 have been around for many years now, i got my first phone in March 2003 and it was on 02 Pay as you go original. I will be explaining this tariff and a bit about 02 as well in this review. ~02 Pay As You Go~ Pay As You Go means you are free of a contract and you pay for the phone all at once for example if you buy a £139 phone. You pay the full £139 up-front. For Credit on your phone you pay £10 for a top-up card. You can do this whenever you ...
...For the first 30 days you can access 02 Active (GPRS) for free and get a game / ringtone worth £2.50 free if it is compatible with your model and 5 free picture messages. From 02 to landline, daytime weekday calls are 35p per min and evening calls are 10p per min. Weekend calls at anytime are 10p per min. From 02 to 02 mobiles they are 20p daytime, 10p evening and 10p weekend. From 02 to another network its 50p daytime and 30p weekends and evenings. ...

Home with O2

Advantages: Good Customer Service, Rewards
Disadvantages: Charged for using voicemail

I've happily been with O2 as a Pay as you Go Customer for just over 2 years now, The service they provided me with was excellent as they had plenty of bolt on's to choose from depending on what you mainly use your phone for. ** What are Bolt Ons?** Mainly they are there so you can get the most out of using your Mobile Phone i.e whether you're a Textaholic, Talker etc. Basically you pay a set fee which is taken from your credit on your phone and ...
...the Bolt Ons?** O2 HOME 100: You receive 100 anyone anytime minutes each month to any Mobile network or Landline in the UK . (I use this bolt on and also get 100 free texts each month) It Costs £9.99 per month. O2 HOME 250: You get 250 off peak minutes ( Only on Fixed Lines and other 02 Numbers). It Costs £4.99 per month.

02 UNLIMITED-new tariff-don't limit yourself!

Advantages: Free calls & texts to 02, free sim card.
Disadvantages: Top up EVERY month, customer services.

O2 Unlimited Unlimited calls and texts to anyone on O2, simply connect or switch tariff to O2 Unlimited now. Top up £10 and you can get unlimited free Texts to all other O2 customers. Top up £15 and you can get unlimited Calls AND Texts to all other O2 customers I have been on contract with another provider for quite sometime and have slowly found my bills creeping up. My other half has a 02 pay as you go sim card and was always going on about ...
...I was unsure of joining o2 as I was once upon a time a contract customer of theirs and there customer service was flat as a pancake. However, with Pay as you go, you tend to not really need to speak to a customer advisor or customer services. Most things you need to know are on the website and it is all pretty self explanatory. Plus you have to pay 25p per minute to speak to them and they really are not worth that much!! As long as this offer stays ...

O2 Pay as you go, PLUS free text messages

Advantages: Best pay as you go text messaging offer around
Disadvantages: you have to keep track of how many messages you send

...have been a customer of O2 now for about two years, and find their pay as you go contracts very reasonable. I myself have one of the genie sim cards, where you get a choice offree text messages or free any network, any time minutes. Since i have had the sim card i have taken advantage of the free text messages. where for ten pounds O2 give you 300 free messages, the amazing thing with this is that you still keep your ten pounds of credit to use on ...
...has to. The O2 customer services are always helpful and always do everything they can to help you. i recently had my sim enabled to work in NZ and singapore, which was free and complete in 5 minutes. I have also found the network coverage to excellent, whilst travelling around the UK, i have only every found myself without signal a small number of times. One of these times being whilst in the Lake District (for obvious reasons) i would say this ...

o2 priceplan

Advantages: cheap evening and weekend calls
Disadvantages: paying for voicemail

I have been an O2 pay as you go customer for nearly four years now during which i have been able to keep the same phone number, even tho i have changed my handset numerous times. With O2 at night time and at the weekends on this particular priceplan calls to landlines and other O2 mobile phones are only charged at 2p a minute.

Pay and Go Original

Advantages: Easy to top up
Disadvantages: Cost ALOT for everything

O2 havent excelled themselfs with the original, every thing costs alot, to call anouther mobile its 30- 50p a minute for the first 3 minutes you talk everyday, then the price drops. Its okay for texting, costs 10p per text. Voice mail is the same costs 30-50p per minute the service is okay and relitivly easy to navigate through menus. Cusomer service is not good, you are often on hold for 10-15 minutes then talk to someone then get redirected and ...
...and no internet, i called o2 and said that i did have it, i didnt i said. Then they said they cant do anything about it. I called a couple weeks later and they fixed it they had turned internet off for my sim. Some times internet is free but i cant figure out when or why? Everytime you upgrade your hand set you have to call to get your internet re configered which is annoying. The service of being able to see your credit insted of hearing it is ...

02 Network & Broadband

Advantages: PAYG Text Packs - Free 02 to 02...
Disadvantages: Not 3g, 'Bleep bleep bleep' on fridays!!

Biggest Network In the UK. 02 has been around for years, started off as BT Cellnet....then it took off from there... I remember the 1p text's..yes Im old!!!! I like 02, I used them when I was PAYG, I was on a great PAYG Tariff which let me call my friends on 02 for free. Great thing about 02 is the benefit of a variety of the Tariffs. My daughter uses 02 and all her friends do aswell so they can talk to each other for littel money. Text Packs are ...
...300txts to use on the following mth. £30 Top up gets you unlimited texts aswell - but I think that is a bit expensive these days considering the Contract Packages available from other networks... but if you have problems with Credit checks or your a youngster, then 02 is perfect. Bit of a problem with them is their customer service, its no the worst by anymeans, but you can be waiting to get put through to an advisor. Netwrok reliability is not great ...
