O2 PAYG Question

Nik_Sr — Mon, 12 May 2025 15:58:44 GMT

Hey all!

Does O2 offer a tariff on PAYG that is without any bundles/add-ons that customers can opt into?

So no converting to x mins or x texts ... just pure £10 there and only get charged when it's used for anything.

Let me know!

TIA!

No they don't.

Not many do anymore.

giffgaff might be your best option followed by 1pMobile but neither are as cheap as they used to be.

As mentioned. I have a giffgaff SIM in a vehicle tracker. I just top up £5 everytime it gets down to around £1 balance. giffgaff seem happy with that. Well I've had no problems with them over the five years it's been in the tracker

I do the same with mine.

Doesn't use much data at all tbh and no problems topping up either.

@Nik_Sr

Just be careful with 1p mobile they have changed there Minimum top up requirements now: to £10 every 2 months and are very keen on killing service..

Your 1pMobile service is subject to a minimum spend on calls, text, data and Boosts of £10 every 60-days. If your actual spend during any 60-day billing period is below £10, we will deduct the shortfall from the credit balance on your account; your usage period runs on a 60-day cycle from the Commencement Date, or for customers whose Commencement Date is before 03 October 2024 the date notified to you.
If we are unable to collect the shortfall because your credit balance is insufficient for us to do so, and we are unable to take the outstanding amount from your stored payment method (£10 minimum top-up), then your service will immediately be suspended until the date you top-up your 1pMobile account, or 10 days have elapsed (in which case we will close your 1pMobile account and your mobile number will be disconnected), whichever shall come sooner.

giffgaff is the obvious choice here anyway and as I said, not as cheap as they used to be, for obvious reasons.

@madasaf1sh Remember 1p Mobile at £10 every 120 days when I joined

Then it was £10,every 90 days and now 60 days

Not the value it was
