O2 Upgrade Recommendation

Anonymous — Fri, 13 Jan 2017 11:48:16 GMT

Does anyone know how O2 work out the "Recommended for you" options when you try and upgrade on-line?

I have a Windows Phone (I know I'm sad) on a £24/month Tariff.

My "Recommended for you" options were an iPhone 7 at £45/month, an iPhone 7 plus at £50/month and a Samsung Galaxy S7 at £37/month all with additional up front costs for the phones.

Why would O2 think I would be interested in any of these devices / tariffs?

Me thinks they just offer everyone the most expensive phones, so come on O2 if your not going to make sensible recommendations ditch the "for you" ! !

Reccommendations for you bear no relation to the phone you use or your os preference. Think money, think top end phone with the most profit and markup.....iphone of course as bad as they are!

I've actually never used it...but based on those recommendations for a Windows user they are quite laughable really...
