Could someone recommend a tariff ? I rarely make calls, less than 5 mins a month, I send about 300-400 texts a month and use about 300 Mb data (mostly sat nav) .
I've used half my initial £10 top up already (1 week), so need to choose a tariff.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thanks for all the help guys.
Been on live chat and had a very patient person!
I've chose "text and web". I get 300 UK texts and 500MB UK internet when I top up £10. After one month, if I haven't topped up again, the costs come out of that £10.
This means, in theory, I'll top up £10 every two months, so my texts and web will cost me £5 a month. Any calls will be extra, which is fine.
I'm sure this will sound strange to all you talkers, but I really do make very, very few calls.
Cheers

As long at the tariff ticks your wants and needs boxes thats all that counts.

By the way, I looked into GiffGaff and it looks good. I'll give this O2 text and web tariff 2 or 3 months and see what my costs are.

Good tariff choice but I wasn't sure if that was still available. I was on that years ago.....

It doesn't help that the Text and Web tariff doesn't appear to be listed as available!

I "think" you can text "TEXTANDWEB" to 21300 to switch still but as you say, it's no longer advertised....??

@JOHN,
Was it Live Chat that made you aware of the 'TextandWeb" Tariff.
And how was it applied ?
By them or by you texting a short code ?

Hi
I had seen it somewhere, so was vaguely aware of it. The Live Chat person suggested it and gave examples ( you get more texts and MB for £15 top up, and more again for £20 top up).
I logged into My o2, clicked 'change my tariff' and found it quite easily. I got a confirmation text quickly, and another this morning: "You've now got 500 free UK texts and 500 MB internet to use this month. Remember to top up before 24 Dec to get next month's free allowance."
I had found 2 or 3 pages showing tariffs in varying formats, most not showing this 'Text and Web' tariff. I think it needs streamlining (if not a totally less confusing choice of tariffs).
My tariff isn't mentioned here but if I find it again I'll post a link.
