£2.5 price increase on a £5 monthly contract ...

Has anyone successfully argued against the £2.50 price increase when you only have a five pound a month contract. I was told my increased would be £1.80 but now it's going to be £2.50.. which is a 50% increase!

@17d

There's no argument to have.

You either accept it, or leave for free.

Call O2 on 202 if you wish to leave.

You can then ask for your PAC and take your number elsewhere.

You have the option to leave penalty free

We have said all along that the biggest percentage increase will be on the lower tariffs

Hardly seems fair but this shows that O2 want to be rid of customers spending a few pounds per month

Not a lot you can do except vote with your feet

MVNO's offer the best value so I would be looking for a better deal there

Just to remember you have 30 days from the email to leave without charge so the sooner the better
