Default O2 5p trickery

Has anyone managed to sign up to the O2 Unlimited tariff offering "Call any
landline for 5p per minute"?

I've tried and failed - and now they've withdrawn it.

This level of willingness to honour deals is archetypical of O2, and started
while they were still a sub' of BT.

I'm waiting for my 3rd bill which apparently when posted off to O2 will give
me a 50% refund of the past 3 months
"prace bet now"

According to:
http://freesimo2.o2.co.uk/tariffs.php?id=393

it's 25p per min for the first 3 mins, then 5p per min to landlines

Exactly.

I signed up - via that self-same URL - to a deal offering "Call any landline
for 5p per minute", see http://download.yousendit.com/4D6A90C46862E2E9 for
a screenshot - and O2 returned an acknowledgement.

Two days later they had withdrawn that offer and replaced it with the much
worse offer you've seen - and when I called them, could they find any trace
of my sign up? Could they HELL!

Trickery or what?

Jack

If you want a lot of landline calls, if you can put up with calling them
from
one post code area, I can recommend O2's Favourite place
500 O2 or landline mins a month for 10 quid

Otherwise I use 3 network Stretch 15 which gives me 300 anyone calls
or text for 15 quid which works out at 5p per min or text, and if you go
for stretch 18 or 21 it's even cheaper.

Hi Steve,

No, the wife just makes a few short 01/02 calls a week - so what looked just
right for her has been suddenly jumped by 400%. Of course, I might be wrong,
the SIMs may turn up tomorrow and the deal proceed as done.

Ho Ho Ho

Jack
