Simple Qs: 02 Simplicity

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I was wondering if I could get some clarification on the following three questions;

1. £5 top-up gives one unlimited text; does this mean cross-network?

2. If someone topsup a certain amount; will this amount be converted to credits? Or will this money be only converted to text/calls?

3. Is it easy to switch back and forth (on pay as you go)? I heard by text is the easiest way.

Many Thanks!

He would have been on the O2 Unlimited tariff which gave 12,000 free texts to O2 customers every month you topped up £10.
It sounds like he's changed to the £5 simplicity tariff, which deducts £5 from your credit once a month to buy unlimited texts to all UK networks.

That's what I thought.

Jst one last thing; a £30 initial topup is required for unlimted txt?

No, where did you get that from?

Sorry, that's what I understood from the following;

"To use your example, to get unlimited free texts on Text and Web you would need to top-up £30 in a month.
To buy unlimited texts on the Simplicity tariff costs £5."

- I thought you have to topup £30 and each month £5 will be taken off... I was wrong.

But anyways I've taken up enough of your time, it's all clear now, thanks 2 all.

If you read the whole of that post you will see I was comparing your old tariff(where you needed to top-up £30 to get a free allowance of unlimited texts) with your Simplicity tariff (where texts costs £5).

Nowhere do I say you need to make an initial top-up.
