O2 mobile contract renewals - get credit instead of a new phone. From £1.67/month or lower!

this is standard practice for O2, they did this for me when I said I was happy with my current phone

A fellow foxes fan - hero!

*waits for this to turn into a football hating thread...*

Not great IMO. £150 for an 18mth contract is less than a tenner a month. At last upgrade I got the handset I wanted AND £10 off my monthly bill EVERY month for the rest of the renewed contract (18mths).

The harder you haggle, the more you get. Renewal deals tend to be pretty hit and miss, but for me this is a miss.

Seems good to me.

great deal you got mate ,mines is up soon but my phones knackered they give you credit to if you take a reconditioned phone

Not saying that you didn't get the deal that you wanted, but obviously reducing £10 off of a £30/month bill would still mean paying a lot of money over the lifetime of the contract, whereas for less than £2/month for 200mins and 1400texts is a bargain imo.

They often offer decent deals via retailers with cashback and quidco, knowing that the average user won't bother/remember to claim, whereas this is hassle free. I do agree that these are a bit hit-and-miss though, but it's nice to have a benchmark that you can state.

I got £250 credit on my O2 account for an 18 month contract so worth trying to negotiate

Just the norm man, Quidco can sometimes be better

My contracts up Whats the number you rang cheers

Quote Stufai : so if I keep my old mobile I am paying £1.67/month without having to worry about Quidco or Cashback claims.

This is a good deal, you will only get more credit by increasing your montly payment, why would you want to do that?


£1.67/month that would do me!

VERY VERY hot deal - especially without cashback.

Just to make sure this is O2 online? Or O2 CPW?

You've not read the deal properly, it's £10 per month plus £150 credit on account. So £30 over 18 months.

£1.67/month sounds pretty hot to me.

Yup, this thread should be up there with temps of 1000's!

I phoned o2 broadband by accident and got reconnected, but by looking on their website the number is 08442 020202.

(Or from Say No to 0870 you can use 0800 0288151)

Hope that helps
