Been a customer for almost 17 years & they can't match a deal offered by a rival network

Quite disgusted really, I don't believe for a second that they can't drop a few pounds off a tariff if they wanted to.. I will be going to Vodafone for the new Iphone 6. I've been a very loyal customer - always paid my bills by direct debit etc & they can't be bothered to try to price match for me 👎

Hi

I've heard of the retention dept matching deals before. Perhaps ring back and ask to speak to them. They may ask for proof of a particular deal so be prepared to send it to them to take a look.

Ask yourself is it worth migrating for a "few pounds " ?

If you do migrate then here is a help link to retain your mobile number

If you are going to move to vodaphone then please check them out via their Payg sims to ensure you get good signal

Also as a contract Customer you can unlock your phone for free here https://www.o2.co.uk/apps/help/help?qid=1&q1=2&route=unlocking&case=Handset%20Unlocking%20Form so you can use other network SIM cards in it.

I really feel your frustration but as @aldaweb says...there is no loyalty in business sadly.

Just make sure your new network gives you a good signal. Best of luck to you...

Competition is a fact of business economics and let's be fair, when customers think they can get a better deal elsewhere they vote with their credit or debit cards. It is not wholly realistic to expect an organisation to always "buy" our custom.

I couldn't see a Vodafone tariff that beat o2 if I'm honest.
Which deal was it?

Me too - go right back to the BT CellNet Days...

 

Asked if they would price match but as I wanted unlimited data and a monthly contract they simple couldn't offer it at any price.... (Oh and I wanted that to include abroad too!).

 

Three at £15 a month SIM only unbeatable (inc 4G, unlimited txts & international). Only 200 minutes but unlimited data for Skype / Viber anyway....
