my o2 app no longer compatible?

Anonymous — Mon, 19 Sep 2016 18:06:49 GMT

hi all, ive had the my o2 app on my samsung gt-s5830i (android 2.3.6 gingerbread) for a good couple of years, recently the pin wasn't working to log in so i uninstalled it thinking it may help with a fresh install, but now i cannot download it, i get the 'not compatible with phone' message. just wondering if this is correct? so an app ive been using for a couple of years suddenly becomes incompatible just because it had an update......? once i were signed in using my email & password everything worked sweet before. maybe the older version is still available somehow? maybe im doing something wrong? i tried samsung apps but that just hangs on trying to update itself :-( please help, i know i can log in to o2 site for the info but the app was much better/quicker. cheers all 🙂

It would appear that it is no longer compatible with any devices running GB.
I assume the required levels of security aren't met on older firmwares anymore.

yep it deffo counts towards it, last time i upgraded on the o2 website the monthly tarrifs for the new hadsets were more than double my exisiting £17.50 p/m so i didn't bother upgrading the handset.

@then about 2 weeks later my mate upgraded @ the c.w. and got a samsung a3 2016 for £17.50 p/m on o2 lolz

gutted with o2 for that, he says yeah but c.w has a deal on at the moment,

leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth, feel a little let down by o2,

then 3 weeks later i loose my o2 app argghhh 🙂

There's always good deals from the independents if you shop around, esp as you aren't going to benefit from dealing with o2 directly on their refresh tariff.

In fact, I've just looked at CW and you can get the A3 from £13 a month, depending on tariff.

Crazy that, last time i upgraded i went into an o2 shop & walked away happy,
maybe i should have done that instead.

deffo a great deal that,
im thinking since ive just done the sim only upgrade i might grab a new handset from ebay,

still not sure which model to go for though, i think the a3 is a little too big for my liking,

thanks for the help/ideas MI5 🙂

In today's world you go for the best deal. Long gone are the times when loyalty paid. Refresh is ok if you want to change phones every year but there are far better deals out there in honesty. Research and go for the best deal to suit your needs.....
