4 weekly

Anonymous — Tue, 03 Jul 2018 19:59:52 GMT

I get paid 4 weekly, and i know there's A lot of people out there that does aswell. So why wont O2 let us pay every 4 weeks? I'd much prefer that and I could set up a direct debit aswell. It would take the stress out off it. I wouldn't have to worry about saving the money. I could budget the rest of my month up till my next payday. Does anyone else think they should start this? As must companies do this now.

You still get paid and you still need to budget, so does it matter that it's the same day every month?

Yes it does. For that reason beacsue I have to budget, I'd rather get my bills out the way on payday then I know how much I have left to live on ect.

What about all your other bills like mortgage, gas, electricity etc?
They are monthly bills also.

I don't have a mortgage, anyway. I was just asking a simple question i am not explaining my current financial issues. Haha. I just wanted to know if anyone else have tried to get a 4 weekly bill date and if anyone knows if when o2 will do this, as this will help out lots of people, as like I said before so many other companies do this of you ask them. Just wanted someone with a bit of knowledge and has experienced this themselves.

I'm trying to explain to you that it won't happen and when you do get a mortgage etc all those bills will have to be paid monthly, so best to learn to budget now

Simple answer its a 30 day billing cycle not a 28day one, and to put it bluntly you agreed to the t&c's so tough.

which other companies allow you to pay every 28 days... none in the telecoms industry i would expect/..

I would add this though, what about weekly or fortnightly paid? it would cause too many issues...

It won't happen as already explained. My O2 bill comes out on the 23rd of each month and I budget accordingly

In the same way I pay gas, electric, water, council tax etc etc etc etc.....They are paid on a different date to the 23rd...but the same day every month.

As I am on a business contract, I have 2 bills, one for my device on the 14th each month and one for my airtime plus mobile broadband due on 29th/30th of the month. Then there is my rent due the 1st of the month. I receive 3 pensions: State paid every 4 weeks plus 2 occupational pensions one paid on the 12th of the month and the other paid the last banking day of the month. So like everyone has already mentioned, I budget to ensure there's money in my account to cover all my bills as and when they fall due. That's the way it works for most people @Anonymous

So many rude people on here it's unbelievable. But I actually got my phone when they paid monthly then they changed it to 4 weekly. All I wanted to know if anyone else would prefer paying it every 4 weeks as many many companies do this.

Yes well done you! But for most it isn't so easy, hence why I asked if anyone else had the same issues and if anyone with knowledge have heard anything in the pipeline with o2 hopefully on3 day doing this, as so many companies offer this anyway.

I have the answer already which was NO.
There’s no need to have a hissy fit just because a major multi national company with 30 million customers won’t change everything just for you!

Very interesting how the username has suddenly changed on this thread. Originally MiniTess_88

Someone else who threw a hissy fit and deleted their account? A conundrum for sure

No everyone becomes anonymous when they delete their account.

There you go then. Another deleted account because someone didn't like the answers they were given !!
Also edited my query in my last post ....to avoid 'repercussions'

Don't think they'll be missed @Cleoriff with the attitude they had. Calling us rude because they didn't like the answers we gave.

Yeah, I read that and it made as much sense then as it does now....

Not sure what happened here yesterday @MI5 @jonsie @pgn?

I'm certain something was posted then removed (by Mods?)

However, how it's been left makes absolutely no sense at all.

Looks as if @MI5 is responding to a post made by Glory 6 years ago. 🙄

jonsie — Mon, 01 Apr 2024 10:04:35 GMT

@pgn posted a screenshot of what looked like a chatbot response which had been registered as a new community member

@MI5 was responding to that so yes, makes no sense on such an old thread
