Classic PAYG

Anonymous
Not applicable

So it says here regarding this tarrif, that If you don't top up, or add a Bolt at least once in any six month period, your mobile will be disconnected and you'll lose any credit on your account. If you want to be reconnected you'll be given a new mobile number...

 

However i'm struggling to find details of this caveat in any published terms or conditions, the tarrif page itself nor anywhere else much: nor how it would work in practice, what anniversary dates would apply, how any given six month period would be defined, what warnings, if any, would be given and so on.

 

Anyone able to shed any light?

Thousands of sims are just thrown in a drawer or people just stop using them so O2 need to monitor if a sim is live or not. Six months seems a reasonable amount of time to keep a check on this. A disused number can be reclaimed and then If you send a text every 6 months you only need to top up every 999 days.

Like coal and oil, the present range of mobile numbers will run out so if it's possible to be used again then it's obviously a great benefit to the networks and they all have some sort of usage terms, not just O2.

In the T & C's I can't find a mention of making a chargeable call or text in six months?

Trust us - you need to.

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.
