Airtime plan increase

Shazbat — Sun, 26 Oct 2025 15:28:41 GMT

I recently received this notification by email:-

From April 2026, your airtime plan will now be increasing by £2.50 instead of £1.80.

It says what is happening, but it doesn't say WHY it's happening; can anyone advise?

Thanks,

Roy

Manly O2 being a bit greedy. At least you are able to leave

Problem being that there is nothing stopping O2 doing the same thing next year

Thank you. We are ex-Virgin customers so I was expecting this to happen at some point in some form. But at least we can now add "ex-O2 customers" to our CV as well!

@Shazbat

Just be aware they will all be doing it, Vodafone Three and EE will be next to announce there price increases..

It is a case who pulls the trigger first...
