Say Goodbye to Unlimited Data Tariffs

Anonymous
Not applicable
Looks like O2 are going to follow AT&T's lead by getting rid of the Unlimited Data tariffs for smartphones and iPhones.

Doesn't even look like they're goig to do an unlimited data bolt on!

This could get very expensive!


Just found this on Which Website

I think you've missed the point. You get minimum 500 MB for free, some people will get 1GB free. That's more than enough to use Google Maps or a Sat Nav app.
I think you missed the point I dont just use sat nav once a month and what about
other applications I use internet radio, streaming tv, remote desktop. I rely
on this phone for a connection back to base when im often away working or to
keep me entertained
If you go over, you pay £5 for an extra 500Mb for the month. That's not quite "£5 every time", and a lot better than Three, who give everyone 500MB for free, and charge 10p / MB over, equivalent of £100 / GB!
See above how long do you realistically think 500mb lasts? I know cause I looked
at my usage the extra £5 will double my contract a month
Think of it this way... with the free allowances included, if you use 1.5GB, Three will charge you £100, O2 will charge you £10. Seems fair to me.
My point about 3 was they got a smaller customer base if they wanted to increase
it rapidly unlimited data for there new iphone package would be a quick way to
win market share I wasn't in any way saying there current policy is better.
@ancientferguson
You posts were probably deleted for breaking the forum rules....... that is my mantra... so pack it in!
nothing offensive in my post most likely my user name they took exception too
If you had your account deleted then I suggest you were bang out of order.
I doubt it really was "bang out of order" just offensive to o2

The "thanks for ruining it for everyone" makes you sound like a male chicken!
Dont really think it does? this has a negative impact for the whole smartphone
market and can only serve to stunt growth, have a negative impact for app
developers, and generally spoil the experience for consumers as a whole.
Do you even own an iphone? or still rockin the nokia 3310

Why did my completely inoffensive and ontopic post about what one will actually be able to do within the 500 MB limit imposed by o2 get deleted? Was it because I referred to someone else who said loading up the o2 home page consumed 700-odd KB (equalling 22 visits a day over the month to reach one's limit). Would a mod care to enlighten me? Is the 700 KB figure incorrect? My maths certainly is not not.

Many thanks.

Without seeing it, I would imagine you made general derogatory comments about O2. It is against the rules... apparently.

I always fell foul of this. Didn't they send you a PM telling you why the posts were deleted?

I said nothing derogatory whatsoever, and no, no PM.

Possibly O2 just don't want people seeing real world figures as it doesn't paint as rosy a picture as they would like.

In that case, I have no idea. The lack of PM's would suggest that the mods are working overtime with the amount of clowns that have created an account or two just to abuse O2.

A little tip, as sheepdog will confirm, I have had one or two posts deleted in here. I started copying and pasting everything I posted onto a Word doc, just so that I had some idea what had disappeared. Perhaps re-post it?

Not far out, I've just downloaded the O2 home page on my trusty Nokia 9300i and it was just over 600KB.

not a smart move from O2 and certainly a missed opportunity to claim some early upgrade and new phone adopters.

why do the networks want to be the same? O2 originally took the initiate and tried to do something better than the others allowing them to steal a lead - why now fall back in line???

totally missed opportunity.
