If I send a text message to another o2 customer on pay as you go ,is it free?

[Anonymous]

I have moved from Giff Gaff to O2 pay as you go,Iam now realising that it is not free like giff gaff? is this true please?

If I take a contract out with o2 will it be free to call and text another O2 customer?

Calls and texts made come from bundle allowances or tariff allowances, but otherwise are charged for regardless of it being a contract or PAYG.
Which tariff are you on now?

Under normal circumstances you wouldn't be charged for texting O2 numbers unless you are out of allowances or on the classic tariff.

But they are never free like giffgaff to giffgaff to are.

No not now. Some previous payandgo tariffs were free O2 to O2 before the big bundle tariffs came in.

Yeah, not seen those tariffs for a few years now....

[jonsie]

Nope, they were all replaced when big bundles were introduced a couple of years ago but I bet many people are still on them.

Until they get forced off them like the old legacy tariffs....
