Advantages: great rates and offers, good network coverage, good customer service online Disadvantages: costly when used abroad
...I have used O2 as my phone network provider for over eight years now (dating right back from when they were initially BT Cellnet!). My loyalty to O2 is strong as a result of having had such a positive experience with them for so many years. Therefore, I feel that it is time that I shared my experiences with all of you!
When I was thirteen I received my first ever mobile phone for Christmas. It was a BT Cellnet model and therefore the simcard was also BT Cellnet. I had a good few years use out of this phone and was happy with the BT Cellnet deal so stuck with them. They eventually changed the name of the company to O2 when they merged with Genie.
Pay as you go
Being young, I initially had pay as you go simcards with O2 and found them to offer some better deals than other networks at the time. I obtained an O2 Genie Sim...

Review of O2
Advantages: numerous call plans, broadband, mobile e.t.c Disadvantages: NA
...O2 is a UK mobile telephone operator, which is part of Telefónica Europe.
I have recently rejoined O2, as most of my friends are on the network, and I would therefore benefit more.
How to join O2
Joining O2 is really easy. You can either become a Pay Monthly, or Pay as you go customer. You can ordered a sim card, from their website, should you wish to go pay as you go, using your existing mobile. Full details of current Pay Monthly plans, are available on their website also.

Network Coverage
I have always found the O2 network coverage to be fantastic. I have never experienced a lack of signal, in the area that I live. Therefore, the O2 service, in my opinion is very reliable, as I always have an active signal, that is able to allow me to make calls and texts
Pay As You Go

Review of O2
Advantages: cheap tarrifs Disadvantages: where shall i start?
...I first heard of O2 about a year ago when i got a phonecall offering me a great sounding deal on a 12 month contract with a free handset. I had just come to the end of my existing contract and was looking for a new one anyway so i thought i'd give it a go. I signed up with O2 online and I was promised a nokia 3510i, 500 off peak landline minutes, 500 text messages 500 wap minutes and 50 cross network minutes for £20 a month. They had several other options with different freebies but this one seemed the best choice for me.
Getting started
The phone and sim arrived in the post as expected and I was ready to start using the service. The coverage was good and I always had reception. I used the wap service with no problems. I was in fact very pleased with O2 as a network. The only thing I disliked about them was that it was very...

Advantages: The eye catching design and the amazing LCD display Disadvantages: If this phone had more then a 2mp camera, it would knock sony ericcson for six!
...The O2 Cocoon
Released: August 2007
=
What does this box design, layout and style look & feel like?
The box is a white colour with Braille embossed-like writing on the front 'greeting' you to the phone. The inlay is very colourful with landscape picture covering the whole area. There is magnet device on the end of the close for it to connect when you need to close the box. There are two compartments to the design. One is a cut out where the phone lies and the other is a drawer that you pull out with it tongue to reveal the contents.
The phone is white. And its side and insides are black. On the left of the phone you have you USB/Headset/Ariel port, Micro SD Memory? Card slot and a lever to open the battery cover. On the left you have you Designated Music...

Review of O2 Cocoon
Advantages: Lots of offers. Disadvantages: no more than any other network
...I have had pre pay mobiles for the last seven years. Mainly because I know how much I'm spending, and when it's gone I can't get into debt with it???? Lord knows what I would be like with a contract!
I have been on many different networks, including Orange, T-Mobile and Virgin. And thus far I have found 02 to be the best network.
Here are my reasons why -
O2 offer reasonable tariffs, and have lots of offers.
You can take advantage of every offer which does not cancel out any of the previous offers you already have on your account.
The offers they have and the information on how to get them a printed further on in this review.
O2's signal have always been very good where ever I have been, I have even used it in Spain without a problem. But obviously there are some place's that other networks do have a better signal...

Review of O2
Advantages: EDGE, MMS included in price, free voicemail, great customer service, reception, and value for money Disadvantages: Not too clear that you could get 1000 texts, quite hefty charge for 0800 no's
...After being on Virgin Pay As you Go for over a year, I realised the amount I was paying for calls and texts was well over £20 per month - I had to top up on regular occasions. I didn't really feel that I was making too many calls/texts and running out was a constant worry as it's happened on a few occasions! I also knew that my phone has plenty of features such as Email, streaming video, internet and RSS feeds that I couldn't use because the internet charge was far too expensive.
** Joining O2 **
Fourtunately after seeing a few ads, I realised that there were some really good SIM card only pay monthly deals going round. I was perfectly happy with my phone - a Sony Ericsson Z710i, a very uncommon, nice looking flip-phone with all the features I wanted. I originally bought it for O2 but got it unlocked (Naughty I know!). After...

Review of O2
Advantages: Cheapest tariff, lots of free texts Disadvantages: 50p a minute to ring customer services
...I have finally, after much research and deliberation, upgraded my mobile phone. I had just finished a 12 month contract with O2 in December and as much as I loved my dear little Nokia 3330 (gone but not forgotten), I knew the time and technology had come when I had to move with the times and upgrade.
As there are so many different deals on the market these days, I thought it wise to fully check all the alternative mobile networks to ensure I got the best possible deal. I think I managed to, although they change so often its hard to tell! In the end, I stayed with O2, signing up for another 12 months.

Review of O2
Advantages: brilliant..thats it Disadvantages: no serious problems
...I have been with o2 for around 5 years now, I was previously with Orange Pay as You go, I wanted to stay on a Pay as You Go mobile so I decided to get an O2 Genie Sim, at least then I would get 300 free texts a month!!!
~~~~~ Genie Sim~~~~~~
This is a Sim card which is exactly the same as a basic Pay as You Go Sim, only providing you top up at least £10, you will receive 300 free text messages a month!! Therefore if you first ever top your phone up on the 1st of the month, and you top up during that month, you will receive your next set of free texts on the 1st of the next month.
The texts you don't use within that month do not roll over into the next month.
This Sim card was so convenient for me as I use more texts than I do minutes.

Review of O2
Advantages: Excellent network coverage, quick Broadband speeds Disadvantages: Handset deals not always as competitive
...I first became an O2 customer when at university 7 or so years ago. Having just received my student loan, I thought "why not get a new phone". In hindsight, it was probably not a very wise option, but being young and naive it seemed like a good idea at the time.
I'm pleased to say though, that the service I received from O2 was excellent. I initially took out their cheapest contract for approximately £15 a month with a shiny new Nokia handset (this was quite a while ago don't forget so deals were better). Not being the biggest talker on the phone, I opted for a text message deal where I got around 100 texts a month. I managed to live with this deal for the 12 month contract and decided to switch to Pay As You Go, which I have been using ever since.
Reception had also been a major contributing factor to going with O2 rather than...

Review of O2
...••Introduction••
~~~~~~~~~~~~
How do you choose which network provider to subscribe with? they are all competitive and what one offers another will try to better. I don't know about you but I have tried all the available networks providers that the UK has to offer. I have finally found a network that offers me everything that I need.
I know a few people who don't like the O2 network, making claims that they are unreliable and over charge but to be honest I couldn't ask for more.
Let me tell you why I chose O2 as my network and why I will be a customer for life.
••A Bit About O2••

O2 was brought to us, the consumer, by the merging of two networks called, BT Cellnet & Genie. After merging these two companies together they created the now ever popular network...
