Why is 02 very expensive with very little data? I cannot wait for my contract to run out, to change.

I definitely cannot wait to change network, I think 02 is the most expensive phone network, you are ripping your loyal customers off.

Sim only deals are always better value that handset contracts

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

I assume the £52 includes the handset as well.

 

I have an o2 esim from esim.net and it costs £18 per month that is upto 650GB of data, unlimited calls and texts although no premium rate numbers or outside EU roaming....

I pay £17 a month on airtime alone and £19 for the handset which they recently merged into one payment so I can't separate them, and only get 1gb of data a month. Considering they're offering a SIM only contract currently for 30gb for a tenner this is literally insane!? Clearly data is not that expensive so giving so little and offering extortionate bolt ons (an extra 1gb for £11 ) is morally wrong.... Two more years of this....

Why is it morally wrong data costs money, and o2 are not a charity but a business.. I would suggest you look at how much peering bandwidth costs.. 

And you can look at other plans by checking myo2.

@Anonymous987 If you're not happy you can pay off the remainder of your contract and move on any time:

I see the word 'loyal' raises its head frequently 

I translate it as "At renewal time I couldn't be bothered to look around to see it I could do better".

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.

Agree, I can get a 1TB 30 day contract on 3 for £19 per month, or my current favourite is Spusu £1 for 5GB.... 

 

People need to use a bit of common and research

Why did you sign up to the contract then ?
