Any iPad Air 2 Deals?

[Anonymous]

Hi, I know this is probably going to seem like a stupid question but I'm thinking of getting an iPad Air 2 and was wondering if it's included in any deals? I know with the iPad Air (and other tablets) there was this whole thing of not having to pay anything upfront if you get certain tariffs, but there doesn't seem to be anything to say if the iPad Air 2 is in the deal too.

Also, I just got the latest free O2 magazine and it says there's going to be this deal you can get where you just get the one data plan for if you've got both a smartphone and a tablet. As I already have an iPhone 5S and probably wouldn't take my iPad out much (if ever!) then this would be a great help, especially as I'm currently only on the 2GB data bolt-on for my iPhone.

Overall, it would be great if there is some sort of deal I can get if I have both the iPad and iPhone on O2. I used to have an iPhone 4S on O2 and an iPad 3 on Orange/EE,  which was very expensive to keep paying every month for two years.

Finally, I've been trying to keep up-to-date on other topics on here about getting the iPad Air 2 and have seen people have been having trouble getting it. Does anyone know when it's likely to become available in the stores?

The iPad air is available on the refresh tariff.

But seems to be limited on stock availability.

Your best bet would be to have a chat with CS as they will have all the latest info http://www.o2.co.uk/contactus

Thanks for all the replies. I've had an online chat with Customer Services and they've said the following:

1. They're not doing the offer anymore where you don't have to pay anything upfront for tablets if you're already an existing customer.

2. They are going to be doing a "Data Sharer" offer beginning next week which I might go in for as it'll allow me to share my data allowance across both an iPad and my iPhone, rather than paying for two separate allowances. They've suggested I wait until this starts before purchasing an iPad as it'll be more laborious and time-consuming to switch to it and link the two accounts later.

Anyway, thanks again for all your help and suggestions.

Thanks for updating your thread.
The data sharing tariffs are a good idea and something new to O2 so you'll have to let us know what details you get offered

Interesting update.

Thank you.

Data sharing? What a good idea! Do any other networks do this already?....

Yes, both EE and Voda (O2 currently only on business tariffs)
