Thanks Glenda

It looks like it's only available on the Kindle fire at the moment and is data only, ie no calls or texts included.

That's not good because people will have to pay extra a month too call nd text

If it does turn out to be a data only sim, you won't have the ability to call or text regardless of paying extra for it or not. You would have to have 2 sim cards.....

I assume it would work with a duel
SIM card phone ?

Although doesn't the 2nd sim slot work on 2G only ?

That would depend which phone it was.
The Chinese knock off's work that way but the proper Samsung dual sim phones have 3g on both sim slots.

So their could be a workaround if one really wanted this Tariff.

If you really were serious about paying £48 for 20gb of data, yes.....

Deja vu here.... as I said on the other thread started by the Op..I can never imagine how anyone could get through 20GB of data a month? Spreading my wings a bit here...have people never heard of WiFi?

You could use it if you tried - Streaming off Netflix, Sky Movies/Sports etc and tethering (if allowed) but there are much cheaper alternatives

Really...what are they then?....

I am interested, not for me obviously...but if that amount of data can be used I would like to know what you can use to get it cheaper than £48?.............

There are 3 alternative networks (2 of which use O2) that will give you unlimited data for £15 month.....

Ahhh get you now.. (and I know which ones)....:smileywink:

Its a real pity that O2 are only offering 20Gb with this 'inferior phone'...Makes me wonder how much Amazon paid them to offer it from a known network...

Amazon are heavily promoting the phone on their website. I am a Prime customer and get emails of new 'items of interest to me'...email came in last night...

Possibly as it's exclusive to O2.

Re: 20GB data plan

I'm sure many will take up the offer, but it's not for me....

Nor me.

However as their having a shuffle they may introduce all new tariffs now.

Re: 20GB data plan

MI5 — Tue, 09 Sep 2014 07:51:35 GMT

The network can't handle what they've got currently.....
Adding more data strain would finish it off completely - It's a most strange decision tbh, not least until the 4g roll out was completed........
