O2 Sim, 12 Mth Contract, EU Roaming - 30GB (60GB with Volt) for £8 per Month - MSE / o2

I have this and easily the Best deal/5G connection anywhere

I have 2 sims one a smarty and the other an O2. Where I live the O2 sim is OK with good reception and download speeds, but like every provider signals vary depending where you are on both my networks. The best thing to do is ask family and friends what their signal is like and get a PAYG sim to trial it first.

Please be aware of 02 signal

Absolutely shocking

I was given many promises by Virgin before they switched but it really is a nightmare since the switch on 30th June.

I will be requesting my PAC code tomorrow hopefully and then join either ID or VODA.

You have been warned

I used to have Virgin mobile, excellent 5g connection full bars, Tilehurst Reading area. Since O2 took over, signals are pretty bad since. Only 4g and 2 bars. Browsing is bad at times. Not recommended. (edited)

Are all these eligible for the volt travel inclusive zone benefit? I seem to remember only 20GB+ deals eligible (pre-double-up) but can’t find this in writing anywhere? Thanks in advance!

I tried to get this SIM only offer online. Filled in my name, address, information about my phone, bank details even credit card info only to be told...

Your order can't be completed.



As well as our credit scoring system, we use business policies to check all new applications. This time you didn’t meet the minimum level.



Our business policies are commercially sensitive, so we're unable to tell you the specific reason for rejecting your application".



This is definitely not down to my credit score so I phoned O2 with the number provided on the page. Sales answered only to tell me he could not help and he put me through to Customer services who then told me they could not help and that I needed to speak to Sales. I told the lady Sales could not help so she put me through to the Credit department. The guy I spoke to here seemed confused and said I needed to speak to Sales. I relayed to him what they had said to which he replied he could not help me. At this point I said I would not waste anymore of his time and that I was a new customer and was going to take my business elsewhere which I did.



I found the whole experience disappointing, insulting and very unprofessional.

Is there a realistic network coverage checker that shows the networks side by side? Seems like when I enter my post code into any of the service providers' websites, they unsurprisingly come up as "good/great" but that's definitely not true

not available anymore? I just get empty basket

Link not working

Friendly reminder than in certain areas o2 are massively oversubscribed. I couldn’t even get a webpage to load outdoors never mind stream audio. Cancelled within the 14 days they still charged me for the full year. Awaiting a refund. Absolute clowns.

Years of under investment and flooding their network with too many connections to the point that their network has become a joke. Was once one of the best networks around. Not anymore.

What good is a cheap contract if your don't get signal anywhere?

Moved 4 sims to 02 recently, 3 from Lebara, 1 from EE - gone from having great signal all the time to having zero signal at all in Manchester. Will be looking to get out of the contracts after we get back from holidays abroad

O2 is great for roming only, in the UK offers some signal where other don't but the Internet is patetic nowhere near to call it 5G, the signal is there but speeds are way below 4G, calling the customer service to have removed the limitations doesn't help the only thing they tell is to connect to WiFi when possible :))?? In Germany absolute beast 650Mbps on the motorway, here 30-100Mbps on a very good day!

o2, the network that sucks in the UK, but works great in the rest of Europe.

I have a virgin contract so this was perfect for me. I ended up leaving o2 against my wishes, their signal is abysmal in most of London , extremely unreliable and the tube WiFi was bad too. Meanwhile my partner on EE has 0 issues

02 signal has become shocking lately. I'm jumping ship to EE when mine is finished

Seems on but personally I’d never sign up to a 12 month deal again 

Buy phone contracts in April otherwise you suffer their inflation rate + 3.9% nonsense every time April comes around. (edited)

I love o2! Signal is poor however u get free greggs coffee, sausage rolls and bacon rolls! Priorities and all that

My Virgin mobile 30 day rolling contract which costs me £7.95 for 20gb is being transferred to O2 in August with unlimited data for the same price. If you want a good deal I'd look at taking out a Virgin mobile contract whilst they're still available.

Anyway to keep existing number for an existing customer?

Is roaming still bound by the monthly 12gb fair use policy?
