@JASON11 - as with every purchase anyone makes, you need to do your homework before taking the plunge - buyer beware.

If you are still having issues, you really should take it up with O2: Guide: How to find help & contact O2 - or cut bait and run - to another network Guide: Cancelling Your Contract - but do get a monthly PAYG SIM from each of the networks you are going to consider, and use them for a month to gauge if the new network is an improvement over O2 in the places you live, work and play *before* you go getting a 2 or 3 year contract with that network.

Good luck!

Unless I am completely missing the point of this @JASON11, I am not sure what you are worried about. 

 

You are currently paying £20.67 per month. Your price is reducing from October 2024 to £14.99 per month. From April 2025, it might increase by say - this is my guess - £1.50 per month to say £16.50 per month. Hence, you will still be paying significantly less than you are now. 

 

In a year's time, you will be able - under current rules - to remain "out of contract" at that price, or to use something like Uswitch to look for an even better deal. 👍
