This will be the nail in the coffin for O2-UK!

just as OFCOM say you can't do it we now have to opt out of their ruling!

GREEDY!

You're free to go where you like once your contract is up. Just be sure the coverage from your new provider  is as good or better than what you have now from O2 in the places you frequent the most. Cost shouldn't be the main concern. Signal and coverage should be.

Unless of course I win. Am pretty sure that the unfair contact terms act has already been proved to apply in situations where RPI price rises are not advised to consumers by sales staff prior to signing a contact.

This all was discussed last year when it first happened and o2 were cleared by ofcom as were all the other networks!!

A search will show all the posts last year and o2 did change some of it advertising last year to make it clear

Do you really think that O2 would have gone ahead with this increase if they hadn't been sure they were within their legal rights to do this?

Your contract has not changed, the clause about increasing prices has been there for years.

Have a read and see for yourself!

If you asked that question and had proof you would be able to do something about it as he missold you the contract

I would imagine that it was an answer that was given to him verbally in store and consequently unverifiable.

I think it was Samuel Goldwyn who said 'A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it was written on'.

Before this thread was hijacked. The OP was about the new clauses in the new contracts

Please try to stay on topic.

The only way O2 will listen is by people voting with their feet on renewal day.

You can't get out of your contact with this!

I just hope people vote with their feet, I cannot understand how a company such as this can expect people to stay with such a Customer Unfriendly outfit.

I'm off at the end of mine, pity it's got over 12 months left 😞

In 12 months time you may well have something else to worry about.
