Shared Data - what a con!! RUBBISH

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello Guys

 

I have been with O2 for yonks, full platinum, whole family on it, etc etc - I personally have two lines.

 

Tonight I've come accross something that just feels like a great big con. Firstly I'm irritated by many things on o2 currently, platinum service levels have really dropped, call wait times are high, they wouldn't allow NHS discount on iPhones - everything is starting to become very geared towards o2 and not the consumer.

 

I sensed a bad shift, until I heard about the new sharer plans available on o2.

 

Great I thought, I can now supply my various tablets in the family using shared data.

 

Rang up on Saturday, absolutely possible @£7 per month.

 

Rang up tonight - impossible, unless you buy a £50 Data Dongle as well!!!!

 

So for my ipad, car, two daughters ipads, etc that'll be 4 dongles at £50 each!!!!

 

I never ever use a dongle, and I'd be amazed if anyone else does - dongles are yesterday things!!

 

Then there's the Shared Voice SIM, unlimited voice and sms, plus data share is £16, I can buy a full standalone SIM from Vodaphone with 1G of 4G data for £15.30, for a couple more pounds I get a full Spotify Premium account.

 

Finally I thought I'd be able to bring my 8G and 5G data alowances together, no - not until you upgrade / resign with o2.

 

O2 this is going in the wrong direction, I'm now going to look at alternative networks, and as you've guessed I'm pretty loyal, so as I decide to (end early if I need to) I will be moving away from you.
