how does O2 lose 830,000 Spanish customers in six months ?

[Anonymous]

Is this a world record ? Are Spanish Telcos that uncompetitive ?

Telefonica drop 830K customers between April & August this year and Vodafone, in a close run race, shed 639K. Execs at Spanish competitors Orange and Yoigo all get FAT bonuses feeding off the carcasses of former Telefonica/Voda customers.

It seems Vodafone are now giving away iPhone 5s on 4G with unlimited calls/texts/web to stop the haemorrage of customers.....for Euros35 pcm !!! & Telefonica belatedly slash prices of Phone\Broadband\Mobile packages by 40% to halt the slide. I wont even bore you with the Jazztel offer; it'd make you sick with envy.

Market forces at work. Can we have some please ?

Meanwhile back in Blighty totally uncompetitive 02 get ready to shaft this customer with a revised monthly bill for his Simplicity based S2. Up to £24 from a £13.80. Not happening; I remember when Simplicity Tariffs didnt subsidise O2's corporate excesses and had unlimited data (2007).

Now where's that Tesco Mobile number ...?

I'm surprised you're still here!

Not as surprised as I am. & its warmer. Just look at the cost of Vodafone's 'give away' iPhone 5 deal compared to any UK telco based tariff. We need the EU Commissioners in Brussels to slap them all and have better (cheap) EU tariffs.

Look I respect your opinions but can you please;

1) stop advertising tesco mobile
2) post in the off topic section. Or even discussions. This is not the correct area.

Isn't advertising classed as spam

Flagged for a move.

O2 doesn't appear to be phased by competition mentioned within their forums.

If I wanted to hear about tescos mobile I'd join their forums haha.

I can see what the op wants and I agree(or did) but I don't think posts like these are going to get everyone to don their V for vendetta masks and revolt against O2.

Definitely beginning to look like a troll.

Indeed, however they appear to be fairly well spoken:) makes a nice change:)


Toby out of pure interest you and Leonard mentioned you'd only add subsections when enough threads were started to call for one.

I would like to suggest in the discussions and feedback section a "Rants" subsection. I believe there is ample demand:)
