After a bit of prompting, I got the same answer - really hope the info given is correct as I have just upgraded my existing tariff.

If you go through TopCashback to uswitch you will also get £13 back on this deal

Try a PAYG, thats what i did.Averaged about 45mbps but even up to 100mbps in the right spot. If you look on o2 coverage website & select ‘masts’ see how far your nearest one is too. Plus your priority rewards will cover what you spent on the PAYG 😏

For the people asking, you will lose your volt benefit temporarily after upgrading but will then reapply within 14 days.

My previous volt boosted 30GB allowance has temporarily dropped to 20GB since swapping over

Exactly. Bought £10 PAYG card for testing and already had two coffees and pizzas in Gregg's. By end of the month, I will get around £20 of Priority perks. Also got £5 bonus from o2, so switched to £5 tariff for next month and will use more perks.

And in the meantime, got sim only contract, after checking network coverage and speed. (edited)

Volt benefits reapplied to my account today without me having to do anything. More data and no price increase.

I would be interested in moving to this deal if it can be confirmed as Volt eligible i.e. I would get 40Gb data. Can anyone confirm this is definitely Volt eligible? When I went through the process no mention of Volt benefits came up and so I stopped short of proceeding.Read lessRead more

I pressed ahead anyway and on successful checkout got the following:

"Got Virgin Media broadband at home? If so, you could get exclusive Volt benefits for being with both Virgin Media and O2. As long as your Virgin Media broadband and Pay Monthly mobile accounts are registered using the same name and address"

So, looks like everything OK and this is Volt eligible.

For the people who was questioning wether this is actually Voltable, signed up to this deal 2 days ago, received Sim today. Spoketo o2 on twitter who confirmed details & within 1 hour data & home broadband doubled. Straight forward & quick 🏼

Got my loyality discount added, now waiting for my VOLT venefits to be added.. it cant take max 14 days

I’m just chatting with o2 agent and he said this deal comes with 5G and EU roaming but it DOES NOT come with VOLT. He confirmed that deals from Uswitch that will be available in 4-5 days are eligible for VOLt but deals from moneysupermarket are not eligible.
Hope it helps

Yes if you are a current O2 customer with another Sim only contract in place you can just take up the offer from USwitch and then in the checkout process it will ask you if you are an existing customer and to sign in. Once signed in, it will update your existing contract. I did this myself earlier today, and now have more data and another 3 months disney plus, for no extra charge. However I am not 100% sure I will escape the RPI increase as this might be considered an "upgrade" rather than a "new contract".

Correct me if I'm wrong but upgrade is a new contract too and upgrade …Correct me if I'm wrong but upgrade is a new contract too and upgrade shouldn't be subject to price rise if it is signed after particular date. Sadly one of my comments here was removed. I was trying to warn people about uncertainty of this whole thing. I called O2 and first person said "likely I shouldn't be subject to price rise" and when I asked for manager as it wasn't good enough for me manager didn't know too...I hope you'll be safe from it.Read lessRead more

Thanks. I actually spoke to them and they confirmed due to this change I am NOT subject to the price rise this April. So this is a no-brainer if you are already on O2 really!

I hope 30GB data with 6 months disney+ for £10 will come back

It's a price increase from next month for the rest of the contract that they're trying to avoid. Do keep up.

Just signed up for this after holding off for the last month! Have screenshotted the page showing price increase from April 23 so pretty comfortable I'll successfully argue against it if they do try and charge me. Thanks OP. Now off to the older copies of this deal to wind it into all those people who said we'd never get this price after March 24th (edited)

I had this issue a few months ago , I emailed credit file referrals on the email you mention and it took them about 2 weeks to respond , they called and apologised , I was trying to get 3 sim only pay monthly contracts , they removed the block on my account and I was able to purchase , they gave me £25 credit for all the inconvenience. They I think as I was a new customer they don’t like giving out multiple contracts . I never had any credit issues before , she mentioned that it’s best to wait a month or longer in between applying .

Unusually, O2 generally allow upgrades at any stage during your contract and you can apply the upgrade through your My O2 account. By clicking on the link, you can sign up to this deal and during purchase, you will be asked to login to your account and can apply it to your existing number. By contacting O2, you will not get the best deal. If your account still shows you as eligible to upgrade, you can still do this and get the £8 deal.

I'm going to dispute this because this is what was shown as part of my order completion via moneysupermarket:

Got Virgin Media broadband at home? If so, you could get exclusive Volt benefits for being with both Virgin Media and O2.

When you take the deal, there's a question if you want 4g or 5g sim card. Also, 5g card is supposed to be backwards compatible.

Hi,
Yes you can. Your phone will work as it should but not on 5G, and yes contract will roll every 30 days once 12 months are up until you cancel it or re upgrade .

Just an advise : re upgrade every year in April so you can escape the price hike
