Pay & Go

[Anonymous]

At the moment I'm with EE and they have Pay & Go time limits (so many days) but because I mostly use WiFi it hardlyever gets used up.  Is there a time limit with O2 or is it available until I've actually used up my data?

30 days for any tariff with a bundle but there is a no bundle option which just uses credit that never expires.

This is the Simply PAYG option

I don't know what you mean by a 'bundle'.  You say there's no bundle option & it's credit that never expires, does this mean that I can use the credit until I've actually used it up or would I be no better off than I am now with EE?

[MI5 · Accepted solution]

Some of the tariffs include bundled call, text and data allowances (similar to your EE I assume) and these allowances expire after 30 days even if not used.
The simply pay as you tariff is just money on your account, which you use until it's gone then top up again, even if that is only every 6 months.

I'm with EE (I moved from O2) and although I don't use the method I describe (I have an everything pack with EE which lasts for 30 days).

If I have picked you up correctly, you can do what you want to with EE, no need to move network.

Send a text with STOP PACK to 150 immediately before you top-up to prevent the pack activating and then you can use it as normal pay and go and from then on, top up as and when you need to when your credit has been used up.
