My O2 Extras are here!

Marjo — Thu, 27 Feb 2020 13:49:19 GMT

Hi everyone! How are you doing today?

We have some exciting news to share: O2 has this morning launched O2 Extras, which means even more flexibility and value for our customers.

This is something you can choose based on your interests together with your Custom Plan, helping you get the most out of your downtime!

See more information below, and let us know what you think in the comments.

So what exactly is O2 Extras?

From today, when you upgrade or take out a new handset, tablet or SIM-only contract on selected Custom Plan tariffs, you will get to handpick an extra - on us! The extras will be included for a period of 3-6 months depending on the chosen tariff, after which you will have the convenience of managing you paid subscriptions through MyO2.

What extras are there?

There are some fantastic extras for you to choose from, and we're adding more all the time. The most up-to-date list can always be found here.

Amazon Music Unlimited: unlimited access to 50 million songs on your favourite devices! (£9.99 after the gift period)
Amazon Prime Video: watch popular movies, TV episodes and Amazon Originals (£5.99 after the gift period)
Audible: take your pick from the world's largest selection of audiobooks! (£7.99 after the gift period)
O2 International Bolt On: call international mobiles and landlines from just 1p per minute. Normally £3, this extra lasts for up to 36 months or until you upgrade.
Cafeyn: get unlimited access to hundreds of magazines, all in one place (£7.99 after gift period)
MelodyVR: experience sold-out shows, intimate performances and far-flung festivals in incredible virtual reality (£9.99 after the gift period)

Calm: The #1 app for sleep, meditation and relaxation. Includes hundreds of Sleep Stories, music, meditations, nature soundscapes and more, to help lower stress, relax and sleep better. (£5.99 after the gift period)

Note that, apart from the International Bolt On, the above extras are only available to new customers of that particular service.

Makes sense, a lot of people enjoy the added extras. I used to enjoy the free prime from another known network, shame their service didn't match

Nice one O2. They seem to be trying to compete with other networks at the moment and the new sim only tariffs are more competetive. I've just upgraded to 100GB for £20/month.

There are better prices with the higher GB ...Not so much with the lower GB though....

Most customers want data these days, phone calls and texts come second to social media apps.

Yes I ran out of data when I was away (trying to stream Brazil F1 on Sky Go) The WiFi was rubbish in the holiday resort in Somerset. I had to buy a bolt on

What a bummer. I don't have Sky or Virgin at the moment as I cancelled the TV/WiFi package thinking I would be back home longer. It works out cheaper for me to get the O2 deal.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know that since we announced O2 Extras last year, we've added several new options - including Calm, the #1 sleep, relaxation and meditation app, and MelodyVR, which lets you experience sold out shows and intimate performances from amazing musicians. Today, we're please to introduce McAfee to the growing list of O2 Extras.

Keep your device safe and secure
McAfee Mobile Security Plus protects you from malicious activities and keeps your personal data, your online transactions, and online surfing experience secure.

I have updated the original post with details of these new options, including the pricing after the free period. The latest list of O2 Extras can always be found here.

I've used Calm and it helped me a lot over the past year.

Re: My O2 Extras are here! Manage Amazon Music info

Thanks they are great offers in these challenging times! I've opted for Amazon Music and wanted to know how to manage the extra because I signed up without really knowing how long the offer is for (6 months) - I don't usually do this but because I trust O2, and have been with them for years I opted in. After some checking I see that it's easy to manage via 'manage my account' and 'manage this extra'. I couldn't immediately locate the info so am sharing this.
