O2 new sim only deal - £20 for 20Gb 4G data + Unlimited Minutes/Texts.
Update:
TopCashback and Quidco have new offers... unfortunately none of them is paying £55 like before.
On Quidco you can get now £50 for this contract.
On TopCashback you can get £49.50.
And of course... if you are on O2... you will have access to O2 Priority that always have freebies and discounts, O2 Wifi, O2 Chat for cheap international calls, and so on...

Questions frequently asked by Op's.
- I have received my simcard, I am on a 4G coverage area, I am using a 4G Compatible phone (supporting LTE band 20 - 800Mhz), but my phone can't get the 4G signal, what can I do?
Apparently some of the sims that were sent out were not configured to work with 4G on Android/iPhones, and were compatible with Blackberry instead.
If you are not able to get the 4G signal straight away, please contact O2 (calling them or via webchat) and check if you have the correct data profile assigned to you. If not they will change it and at midnight of that day the new profile will kick in. After that all you need is to restart your phone and you should get the sweet sweet LTE signal straight away. :smiley:
Can you explain the deal?
With O2: The deal is £20/Month x 12 Months = £240 (in a year) That would be how much you would pay in a year for taking this contract (and that's the bill you will get every month).
But if you factor in the cashback that you will get from TopCashback or Quidco...
Quidco:
20 x 12 = £240 (price for 1 year without cashback)
240 - 50 = 190 (1 yr price - cashback)
190/12 = 15.83 (factoring in the cashback, still the bill you will get every month will be £20)
Top Cashback:
20 x 12 = £240 (price for 1 year without cashback)
240 - 50 = 190.5 (1 yr price - cashback)
190.5/12 = 15.88 (factoring in the cashback, still the bill you will get every month will be £20)
Will O2 actually give me money/cashback?
Well... the cashback is actually not given to you directly by O2 but via TopCashback (I am sure that O2 pays them though).
Is this a 30 day contract?
No, it's a 12 Months contract.
I know someone that works at O2, can I use their Friends and Family discount with this deal?
Yes you can and that will make this even a better deal!
Can I upgrade my contract and move to the 20Gb/20£ deal?
Depends on your situation... so it's better to contact the customer service, but if you do this you will not get the Cashback from TCB.

No... it's simple Maths... £20 x 12 Months = £240 That would be how much you would pay in a year for taking this contract (and that's the bill you will get every month).
But if you factor in the £55 cashback that you will get from TCB... you do £240 - £55 = £185 that's how much you will end up paying for this deal in a year... if you divide that for the 12 Months... £15.42.

I agree about staying away from Vodafone. They have terrible customer service and they have terrible network coverage overall. I think the latest survey confirmed this (will try and find the source)
Remember to always check first with a PAYG sim as it depends on where you live/work. Even the online coverage checkers aren't very honest. O2 is the only network that works where I live. The other networks just blame the trees and the buildings for the poor coverage :smile:

The cashback will only be payable once, but the deal you have posted is a 12 month deal - therefore the first month is £16.25 but the subsequent 11 months are at £20?

Would kind of help if you made reference to such via both your Deal Title, &/or your Deal Description, etc?.
Instead of given the impression in both that its perhaps a one-off £20 SIM Deal/30 Day Rolling Contract Deal and stuff, or whatever .....
Between what you've described in your initial Post and what you've now just explained via the first Post is a massive difference.

Why have you not changed this to say topcashback are not paying out ?
ublewit
9 Jun 164#4
No.
12 months @ £20 = £240
Less £55 Cashback = £185 total yearly cost.
Divide this by 12 and it works out at £15.42 per month actual cost to you. (Although your direct debit would still be £20 per month remember.)

Ah I see, I just read your post and it indicated the monthly cost would decrease....had I of thought about it a little more I should have realised that £50 odd cash back on a £20 spend does not reduce to £15... my bad haha!
Think I need to go get myself a coffee :wink: my apologies - I've seen many SIMO posts before that only take into account the first month and people buy in to the single month price rather than looking at overall period.

I have been waiting for this deal for a few days now because I've heard that it would come out and I am looking forward to leave Three. I will also have the Friends and Family Discount from a friend... (if you know someone that works at O2 it's well worth to ask them if they can give you the Friends and Family discount because it's 30% off the price listed on Sim Only contracts).

I am existing sim only o2 subscriber. My term is up and I'm now on a rolling contract. If I take out this deal on a new contract, is there a chance my cashback will be declined? Will I not be considered a new customer?
My plan is then to transfer my existing number to this new contract, and shut down the old contract

Vodafonica backhaul Cornerstone is way behind its 98% indoor coverage through merging sites - last August at 63%
If you want 2G coverage for calls and texts go o2.
If you want a 2/3G signal at hom/work if you have a JCDecaux marked bus stop outside the door you should be ok
as 1800/2600mhz transmitters should be installed.

The difference for me between 20gb or 30gb is almost irrelevant as I won't use it all. So I guess I'm curious if o2 are a better network to go with or stick with three? Can you tether on o2?
digifreak
9 Jun 161#43
Yes you can tether with O2 to the full extent of your data. Regarding who is a better network it has a lot to do with the area you live on. In my area O2 is excellent... While three is a bit meh.

Hi All,
My rubbish £11 a month Three contract is running out in a month (1GB 4g data, a few thousand texts and 300mins), Is this the best sim-only deal on the market for around £15/month? 20gb seems incredible! If I Call Three to cancel, can I get a deal anywhere close to this (I like their calls and data abroad feature)?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

ublewit
9 Jun 162#50
You register with TopCashBack.co.uk.
You then search for the O2 offer on the TopCashBack site.
You click on the button and you are then automatically transferred to the O2 site. Once you sign up for the sim, O2 will pay a cashback of £55 to topcashback who will then pay this into your topcashback account after a certain time. (Not sure how long it is right now).
Once the cashback appears in your topcashback account, you can then either withdraw it to your bank account or get vouchers for Amazon, Argos and many other places.
So although it's O2 who the phone contract is with, it is topcashback (TCB) who you will get the cashback from.
I hope that's clear but if not just ask again and we'll try to clarify some more.

computerdog
9 Jun 16#53
Life would so much easier if that were the case.
In my experience (you guys can correct me if I'm wrong) when you order a new sim they give you a seven day cooling off period BUT that's only if you dont use the sim.
The minute you insert the sim that's it, your contract starts and you can't cancel.
Hence why you should just grab a PAYG sim for the network you are thinking of trying.

Unfortunately very poor 4g coverage in North-West London. If you are lucky enough to have 4g signal the speed of it is also very slow. I have changed to ee and don't regret.
Never ever go with O2 again.... utterly appalling CS. Took me nearly 3 months to leave them, with dozens of requests for additional payments, after being positively assured that; I was in credit, my account was closed, no more payments will be needed, you are in credit as we have credited you..... etc. never-ending rubbish.
In the end only a formal complaint, which I had to follow-up! actually closed the account.
Never again for me ... even if they paid me (which apparently they said they had!!! )
Deal is hot though ... but I reckon you will get burned, over and over again!

Quite right :innocent: my apologies
This contract gives you unlimited calls and texts, so you wouldn't get any nasty surprises there unless you make any calls to premium rate numbers (0845 etc) or international calls. Subscription based texts (ie those naughty little beggars that sign you up to them when you enter tv competitions etc). Also the data is capped so you can't go over - but for most, 20gb is more than enough anyway :smiley:

20GB? Fancy another 10GB for not much more? Three are offering half price for 6 months on 12month SIMO tariffs at the moment which makes this deal sound not quite as attractive.
30GB all calls and texts over 12 months = £270
Quidco doing £50 cashback
Total over 12 months including cashback = £220
Works out at £18.33 a month

Better call Customer Service or use their online chat... and check with them. Unfortunately I can't advise you with this one.

Hey, sorry I didn't say check the intranet... I'm not sure what happened there. Actually I was trying to ask for your advice but I think my message got mangled with the iPhone app.
I'll try here (and apologies if it actually shows on anybody else's screen multiple times!)
I have a rolling sim only deal £23.55 gets me 2gb of 4g data and unlimited text/call... can I improve that with something like this?
Thanks

I rang and was told that because I took out my monthly deal through Carphone Warehouse that the only thing I could do was cancel it and pay it off (4 months remaining, so 4 months line rental less the VAT) and take out a new contract. They couldn't upgrade me because I was still in contract.

Well... as I've said to the other OP... the best way to do it is to actually call the O2 customer service team or use their online chat to check.
For instance the other OP had his O2 contract done with CarphoneWarehouse and he could not change it because he was still in contract with them... so this is a case by case analysis that I don't have any way to do it.
What I can assure you is that if you can upgrade, they will be more than happy to help you.

Thoughts anyone? Currently on o2 Refresh iPhone SE £15/month Device £30/month Trariff, with o2 Open £22.50, 22 months remaining. Worth paying off my device then signing up to this deal?
digifreak
10 Jun 16#153
Well... the difference will be £2.50/Month... it's about saving £55 in two years... so it's more a question of asking yourself "Can I afford to pay now the phone entirely?", and "is £55 over two years worth the fuss?" (I am guessing that the £30 tariff you are talking about is 20Gb + Unlimited minutes+texts too, right?
Geekboy2k to digifreak

Yep 20GB, same as the offer, think it does come down to the fact about paying off the handset or not, 12 months contract feels better than 22! ;-)

After the 12 month contract period it'll automatically go onto a 30 day rolling contract. You'll be able to carry on if you're happy to, upgrade, or give 30 days notice and leave altogether

Supposedly it keeps renewing until you find a better deal...
OpineDevine

Hot deal.
I'm currently with O2 on a £28 amonth contract with only 1gb of data, I'm tempted to cancel that contract (ay a cost of £92 and get this. I've used the O2 webchat and they won't offer anything like as good a deal as this.
With about 5 months of payments to go including cashback I'd save a little bit of money but then have a great contract going forward. The only problem is I'll have to get a new number.
Can anyone else see any positives or negatives in my thinking?
Incywincy to OpineDevine
10 Jun 161#165
I've signed up for the sim only - then next week (after my next bill date on my monthly contract) I'm going to ring and cancel and pay off the 4 months - at that point I was told they'd then be able to transfer my number to my new sim only contract. If they can't I'll be pretty annoyed because I've had my number for over 15 years!!
jaffajoe to OpineDevine
10 Jun 16#171
why do you have to get another number? pac it over...?
The_Hoff
10 Jun 16#162
I was just going to take this and move from Voda, been with them 6 years.
Voda did their best to match it:
20gb 4G.
Unltd sms/calls.
4gb roaming data across europe.
12 months Spotify/Sky Sports/Sky Now.
12 month term.
£22.20
They then added £24 bill credit to effectively make my monthly £20.20, decided to go with that purely for convenience and whilst it's overall more expensive given the Quidco I felt the Spotify offsets that at a £10 saving a month, I use it already.
Thanks Op.

Is there any daily charge for using the data in any of these countries please?
Im with o2 but out of contract if I signed up for this via tcb and then cancelled my current contract can I get my number ported still or would I need to port to another network first?

The 30GB data and All you can eat mins and texts. Clearly a better deal if you chew through the data.
Think you've mixed up three and o2. The countries in the list are for three's feel at home. On o2 you pay £1.99 per day for European countries.
Rikachu

Yep yep, can use data abroad but for a daily fee of £1.99.

Need some help guys.
So I'm with EE and my main concern with them is network coverage. There are times when it poses no problem at all but then there are times where I either have no network or people say they try to call me but it goes straight to voicemail. One other annoying thing is when I send more than one text the recipient says that it comes in a muddled order sometimes.
I called EE today (I am on a sim only contract with them) and asked whether they could better it. They said they could match it with free EU roaming. I stupidly forgot to mention the cashback.
So I dont know whether to stick with EE or go to O2. Any advice is much appreciated.
Forgot to mention, my current contract is 12 quid a month which consists of unlimited texts, unlimited 3g internet and 100 mins (noway near enough)
katya1971

I am under the impression that Friends and Family discount can never be brought across tariffs, plus it's not been issued since their Refresh tariff has come out.

Thanks think my confusion is that earlier in the thread it appears you can get the 30% friends and family discount but I was told you couldn't regardless of whether you are an old or new customer as SIMO deals no longer can have the discount as apparently they are already heavily discounted. Rather strange them saying this especially if some people are getting the discount

They just did it on their system. No sim needed to be changed. And yes you can pop the sim on any phone (as long as locked to O2 or unlocked) and you will be fine to test it :smiley: Also if you want to test the 4g your phone must be compatible with the Lte 800mhz frequencies. (For instance the Oneplus One is not)

Does anyone know if it's possible to transfer a current out of contract O2 number to the SIMO sim deal but still order that sim through the web so quidco can be used to get cash back?
dt_matthews to speedemon
21 Jun 16#356
No you can't, a (PAC) transfer must be between two different providers, so you'd have to transfer to a different Payg sim with some other provider, then back to the new o2 sim.
wildswan
21 Jun 16#357
incorrect. I was already on o2 and they transferred my number to the new sim when I paid my device credit agreement off and closed the old account. I had the letter for account closure too. they were going to upgrade my existing and cancel the Simo as I was within 14 days but told them I'd loose money .
o2 cs was very good
dt_matthews
21 Jun 16#358
That's just an internal transfer then obviously, no PAC codes required. I don't know how you'd do that but still order through the web though, sounds a bit tricky.

ok so ive spoken to quidco cs and they confirm the offer is for new customers only. the only problem is the website does a **** job of explaining this. under the "Earn up to £90 cashback" offer on this page http://www.quidco.com/o2-mobiles/
if you click terms and conditions you are only shown this text
under which is the blue get cashback button and click on this and you go off to the external o2 site. However if you scroll down to the bottom of the offer page you will see the terms and conditions as listed above. THIS IS VERY EASY TO MISS Most users will goto the quidco site and click get cashback and check the terms which i did. This is very poor design. Many people will not see the new customers bit :/
ive complained to quidco and the guy said they have had trouble with this sort of thing before. He told me they will wait and see if o2 honor it, if not they will investigate further. i have taken a video of the site to prove the above is true.

As others have said, DON'T USE TCB. Never tracked, and customer services have put the deal "On Ice" until mid December! :neutral_face: Apparently it's O2's fault, in that they take an age to pay out (according to TCB). But then if that's the case, why is it tracking in Quidco? Will be using Quidco from now on though.

Delivery is free and is expected on Monday. Its a new sim, but I will just need to ring O2 and I can keep my number ok.
TCB tracked within half an hour, but it tracked at £10 I think, but I might contact them about that, should be £20.20 from memory.

This is a solid deal, I was paying the same price for 3GB (although only on a 30 day agreement), so thanks for pointing it out, I've just upgraded. Vodafone did the same deal a few months back, but the end of the contract it went up to £40 odd quid a month or something like that - although that was not mentioned anywhere on the website, even when you selected to buy the deal, I only found out as it was mentioned on forums. I walked away from that as I'm not willing to trust a company who aren't upfront about their deals. Checked with O2 and this goes to a 30 day contract after 12 months, but the price stays the same, which is how it should be!
mdadnan
27 Jun 16#389
You should put a reminder to check with them on the new pricing just before the contract ends. I ditched O2 for poor 4G coverage, found it slower than Vodafone. Being their existing customer got 10GB for £14 a month for my wife and same deal for myself. They also gave me one month free for the new contract.

Also don't forget... if you are on a good coverage area, have a 4G compatible phone (band 20 LTE) and you can only get 3G... talk with the Customer Service because most likely you have the blackberry bolt on activated on your account. Ask them to deactivate it... restart your phone and bingo! :smiley:

missy89
7 Jul 16#399
Is it a pay as you go sim? If you top up by £10 to activate it and then take out a sim-only contract on o2 you can port the number over and the £10 will sit as a credit on your o2 account, so your first direct debit will be deducted from that credit.

7 Jul 16#401
Ah okay. In that case, the only thing you can do is top it up by the £10 to activate it and take the loss when you port it over to whatever network you've chosen, or use up the remaining credit using Charge To Mobile - you can use it on the Google Play Store, for credit on the iTunes Store, and on the PlayStation Network and Spotify :smiley:

Questions frequently asked by Op's.
- I have received my simcard, I am on a 4G coverage area, I am using a 4G Compatible phone (supporting LTE band 20 - 800Mhz), but my phone can't get the 4G signal, what can I do?
Apparently some of the sims that were sent out were not configured to work with 4G on Android/iPhones, and were compatible with Blackberry instead.
If you are not able to get the 4G signal straight away, please contact O2 (calling them or via webchat) and check if you have the correct data profile assigned to you. If not they will change it and at midnight of that day the new profile will kick in. After that all you need is to restart your phone and you should get the sweet sweet LTE signal straight away. :smiley:
- What is TCB?
TCB means TopCashback... and to access it you just need to go to http://www.topcashback.co.uk.
Can you explain the deal?
With O2: The deal is £20/Month x 12 Months = £240 (in a year) That would be how much you would pay in a year for taking this contract (and that's the bill you will get every month).
But if you factor in the cashback that you will get from TopCashback or Quidco...
Quidco:
20 x 12 = £240 (price for 1 year without cashback)
240 - 50 = 190 (1 yr price - cashback)
190/12 = 15.83 (factoring in the cashback, still the bill you will get every month will be £20)
Top Cashback:
20 x 12 = £240 (price for 1 year without cashback)
240 - 50 = 190.5 (1 yr price - cashback)
190.5/12 = 15.88 (factoring in the cashback, still the bill you will get every month will be £20)
Will O2 actually give me money/cashback?
Well... the cashback is actually not given to you directly by O2 but via TopCashback (I am sure that O2 pays them though).
Is this a 30 day contract?
No, it's a 12 Months contract.
I know someone that works at O2, can I use their Friends and Family discount with this deal?
Yes you can and that will make this even a better deal!
Can I upgrade my contract and move to the 20Gb/20£ deal?
Depends on your situation... so it's better to contact the customer service, but if you do this you will not get the Cashback from TCB.

But if you factor in the £55 cashback that you will get from TCB... you do £240 - £55 = £185 that's how much you will end up paying for this deal in a year... if you divide that for the 12 Months... £15.42.
Remember to always check first with a PAYG sim as it depends on where you live/work. Even the online coverage checkers aren't very honest. O2 is the only network that works where I live. The other networks just blame the trees and the buildings for the poor coverage :smile:

Instead of given the impression in both that its perhaps a one-off £20 SIM Deal/30 Day Rolling Contract Deal and stuff, or whatever .....
Between what you've described in your initial Post and what you've now just explained via the first Post is a massive difference.
12 months @ £20 = £240
Less £55 Cashback = £185 total yearly cost.
Divide this by 12 and it works out at £15.42 per month actual cost to you. (Although your direct debit would still be £20 per month remember.)
Think I need to go get myself a coffee :wink: my apologies - I've seen many SIMO posts before that only take into account the first month and people buy in to the single month price rather than looking at overall period.
Actually I stand corrected. It is indeed 30% off sim only tariffs, it's the Open discount that can't be applied to sim only... maybe I should look into getting a new job :neutral_face:
looking for a min 20GB data sim for 4G data tethering as been told wont get fibre broadband anytime soon, and current internet speed moved down from 4mbps to 0.5mbps..BT taking forever to sort out
Any actually reasons why as I am looking at both deals. Would love to know why you and your pole dont excite about vodaphone?
My plan is then to transfer my existing number to this new contract, and shut down the old contract

If you want 2G coverage for calls and texts go o2.
If you want a 2/3G signal at hom/work if you have a JCDecaux marked bus stop outside the door you should be ok
as 1800/2600mhz transmitters should be installed.
My rubbish £11 a month Three contract is running out in a month (1GB 4g data, a few thousand texts and 300mins), Is this the best sim-only deal on the market for around £15/month? 20gb seems incredible! If I Call Three to cancel, can I get a deal anywhere close to this (I like their calls and data abroad feature)?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
You then search for the O2 offer on the TopCashBack site.
You click on the button and you are then automatically transferred to the O2 site. Once you sign up for the sim, O2 will pay a cashback of £55 to topcashback who will then pay this into your topcashback account after a certain time. (Not sure how long it is right now).
Once the cashback appears in your topcashback account, you can then either withdraw it to your bank account or get vouchers for Amazon, Argos and many other places.
So although it's O2 who the phone contract is with, it is topcashback (TCB) who you will get the cashback from.
I hope that's clear but if not just ask again and we'll try to clarify some more.
I just upgraded seeing the option but now uncertain if it will confirm cashback, I thought it was for new SIM only?
In my experience (you guys can correct me if I'm wrong) when you order a new sim they give you a seven day cooling off period BUT that's only if you dont use the sim.
The minute you insert the sim that's it, your contract starts and you can't cancel.
Hence why you should just grab a PAYG sim for the network you are thinking of trying.
Whenever I was out with friends and family every one of them had phone and 4g/3g data signals and i had Edge if lucky.
Awful coverage for me wherever I went.
Glad to be coming off and glad to be getting rid of my LG G3
in London I got 2.5mb download on 3 and 1.4mb on o2.
in essex I got 24mb on 3 and 0.47mb on o2. No competition.
"O2 new sim only deal - £20 for 20Gb 4G data + Unlimited Texts/Data"
should maybe read:
"O2 new sim only deal - £20 for 20Gb 4G data + Unlimited Texts/Minutes"
In the end only a formal complaint, which I had to follow-up! actually closed the account.
Never again for me ... even if they paid me (which apparently they said they had!!! )
Deal is hot though ... but I reckon you will get burned, over and over again!
Its £16/m for a BT broadband customer. They use the EE network, so I prefer that :smiley:
Definitely available to all
An O2 deal at the top of the charts.
This contract gives you unlimited calls and texts, so you wouldn't get any nasty surprises there unless you make any calls to premium rate numbers (0845 etc) or international calls. Subscription based texts (ie those naughty little beggars that sign you up to them when you enter tv competitions etc). Also the data is capped so you can't go over - but for most, 20gb is more than enough anyway :smiley:
and a battery mifi I got off o2 a Huawei e 5330 " I think " paid £70 for device and 12 gigs
hope deals like this continue I live near a o2 mast we get 25mbs speed its mint
heat added op x
Still if you think that it's a good price.... 20Gb + Unlimited Minutes + Texts for £20, I would advise you to actually contact O2 customer service and see what can they do. :smiley:

Probably one of the worst networks out there.
EE has one 1 star (score 0.9) - https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.ee.com
Vodafone has 1 star (score 0.4) - https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.vodafone.co.uk
And apparently Three is the bees knees with 4 stars (which must be very biased because I had Three (now saying goodbye to them because I am taking this deal myself)and they are crap and the Customer service is appalling) - https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.three.co.uk
But then... the MVNO's that use the same network...
Tesco Mobile (O2) 3 stars (5.7 score) - https://www.trustpilot.com/review/tescomobile.com
Id Mobile (Three) 2 Stars (3.2 score) - https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.idmobile.co.uk
30GB all calls and texts over 12 months = £270
Quidco doing £50 cashback
Total over 12 months including cashback = £220
Works out at £18.33 a month
Hey, sorry I didn't say check the intranet... I'm not sure what happened there. Actually I was trying to ask for your advice but I think my message got mangled with the iPhone app.
I'll try here (and apologies if it actually shows on anybody else's screen multiple times!)
I have a rolling sim only deal £23.55 gets me 2gb of 4g data and unlimited text/call... can I improve that with something like this?
Thanks

For instance the other OP had his O2 contract done with CarphoneWarehouse and he could not change it because he was still in contract with them... so this is a case by case analysis that I don't have any way to do it.
What I can assure you is that if you can upgrade, they will be more than happy to help you.
I'm currently with O2 on a £28 amonth contract with only 1gb of data, I'm tempted to cancel that contract (ay a cost of £92 and get this. I've used the O2 webchat and they won't offer anything like as good a deal as this.
With about 5 months of payments to go including cashback I'd save a little bit of money but then have a great contract going forward. The only problem is I'll have to get a new number.
Can anyone else see any positives or negatives in my thinking?
Voda did their best to match it:
20gb 4G.
Unltd sms/calls.
4gb roaming data across europe.
12 months Spotify/Sky Sports/Sky Now.
12 month term.
£22.20
They then added £24 bill credit to effectively make my monthly £20.20, decided to go with that purely for convenience and whilst it's overall more expensive given the Quidco I felt the Spotify offsets that at a £10 saving a month, I use it already.
Thanks Op.

Abroad you get:
120mins a day calls.
120 text messages a day.
Unlimited data, but at a reduced speed.
So I'm with EE and my main concern with them is network coverage. There are times when it poses no problem at all but then there are times where I either have no network or people say they try to call me but it goes straight to voicemail. One other annoying thing is when I send more than one text the recipient says that it comes in a muddled order sometimes.
I called EE today (I am on a sim only contract with them) and asked whether they could better it. They said they could match it with free EU roaming. I stupidly forgot to mention the cashback.
So I dont know whether to stick with EE or go to O2. Any advice is much appreciated.
Forgot to mention, my current contract is 12 quid a month which consists of unlimited texts, unlimited 3g internet and 100 mins (noway near enough)
He also asked me not to share this deal with friends :wink: and here I am on HUKD :smile::smile:
I am on a 4G sim only 12 month contract, half way through.
How did they sort the 4G issue, on their end or sent out a new sim. Mine arrived too yesterday am waiting on a new phone to arrive, so while i wait i can just throw the sim in any phone to test right?
http://m.gsmarena.com/htc_one_mini-5505.php
Currently all im getting is H and rarely 3G.
My Nexus 5x is on O2 and locked on 4G signal.
How long does the 02 data bolt on fix take to work?
Cheers mate :smiley:
I'll pay my £100 when sim comes to end my contract and ask them to swop my existing number to it
I could have done over the phone but no tcb that way
I'll be after a second for the wife. her 3 contract is pants and can't get service in our house
I asked so has 4G not been enabled? and he said "It is 4G enabled however data was not compatible with your phone so I reset the settings and it will start working from tomorrow." AKA something messed up and it wasnt enabled.

I remember hearing something about a hidden 25gb tariff?
I was on 2Gb for £18.23 per month[*] with O2, so I'm getting an extra 18Gb per month for a £1.77 increase.
[*] I did get 15% "Airtime Discount" off this, which I was told cannot be used on the £20 tariff.
thanks OP
Great deal OP
I would offer to help with this - but am at work - so can't.
I'm struggling with this - I've called three times now - as a new customer - and non of the sales rep's are relenting.
I would really appreciate any advice.
Oh and make sure you've not got the blackberry bolt-on. Download the My o2 app and it will tell you.
Thanks in advance
:neutral_face:
you should be able to do a referral too. if you do in her name just have to think about the credit check part
I've got 20gb to use before 20th
I was told you can't as this is an 'offer'
Thanks for posting deal !
Is this still applicable?
that's in bham by the airport if it helps anyone with queries over speed
In a mcdonalds car park in Newton. I was well surprised.
Topcashback have really duped me I feel totally tricked by them!!
Are we talking pennies or a pound or two?
Their words when I logged my claim "your claim has been put on ice until 1st December " they fooled and scammed us!!
Thanks!
Is it the end the accounting quarter / year? Is that why these deals seem to appear in June and in November?
I'm using PAYG on Three (£25 for unlimited internet) and just got this deal from o2.
Four times wtf, everything I entered regarding my card details is correct to the digit.
I will leave this to you guys. I feel really sorry that I "recommended" TCB. I don't know about you, but I will be only using Quidco from now on.
o2 cs was very good
ordered this deal had to set up a new e-mail for o2
got £50 back off quidco within half a hour thanks x

What are my chances of successfully getting the cashback?
If I can't qualify, is there anyway around this obstacle?

So you probably can get the cashback, since you don't have an o2 account anymore.

shame about the signal
Can you share what process you went through to get both seperate rewards?
https://www.carphonewarehouse.com/sim-only.html
Delivery is free and is expected on Monday. Its a new sim, but I will just need to ring O2 and I can keep my number ok.
TCB tracked within half an hour, but it tracked at £10 I think, but I might contact them about that, should be £20.20 from memory.
Still waiting for 4g
I've signed up to quidco, but not sure as to what I need to do next.. Can I purchase directly from the store and quidco will work? Or will it have to be an online order?
Either way can someone please be kind enough to help me through this.
Thank you
Then go to quidco and search for o2 . .
Go to o2 (from the link) and sign up for the 12mth sim only contract and it should track as £45 in your quidco account.
Never had 20GB before - It'll deffo come in handy! :wink:
quidco tracked in minutes.
25gb + unlimited texts/mins for £25
10gb (previously 2gb) + unlimited texts/mins for £18
And for the infrequent users...
500mb + 500mins + unlimited texts for £9.50 (was £12.50)
a rep i chatted too said it can take upto 6 months to get a retailer confirmation - what bs :/
"We're delighted to tell you that your cashback has been confirmed."
TCB on the other site (for the first sim I bought)... has it postponed til after Christmas because it didn't tracked.
I stopped using TCB after this incident and I will keep not using it no matter what.
