Mobile Data plans

[Anonymous]

Any plans for a complete revamp of the o2 mobile data plans?

As it stands they are extremely uncompetitive when compared with superior networks, and can only be described as a complete rip-off

Compare £15.99 for 15GB of data on 3 with o2's miserly 2GB of data for £15

Something is very wrong

I take it, then, that o2 have no plans to adjust their price plans. Thanks.

We are O2 Customers therefore will not have any future knowledge of o2's plans.

Sorry.

Nope, I used my head & i've got UNLIMITED mobile data over the O2 network for £12 a month.

Another newbie who thinks they know more about running a network than O2 do, that's 2 today
Those legacy tariff's are sweet for those that held on to them

Would you ever be tempted to upgrade to a 4g ,and lose unlimited ?

The people like MI5 and others who post on here are o2 customers trying to genuinely help each other. It would be helpful and appropriate in your posts to recognise that. We are not o2 staff nor are we paid by o2.

Every company has their pricing structure no matter what you buy. Three, being the smallest of the 5 uk networks, offer more as they try to build their customer base. If your Three signal is suitable for your needs in the areas you need it, then the advice is to take up their offer. Three will also be rolling out 4g although it is expected they will be behind the lead players.

One question does spring to mind though. Do you need more than 2gb pet month of gsm data (bearing in mind the growing availability of wifi)? If 2gb covers your need then the question becomes immaterial.

All in all though, the decision on where to place your hard earned cash is yours and you must select the best deal for your needs like we all do every day for everything we buy.

Good luck and wish you well

I'd need to wait till March when GiffGaff make there 4G annoucment.

I'd also need a 4G phone ( waiting to see the next Sony Xperia launched )

Plus anyway i'd have to wait for O2 to upgrade the local masts to 4G.

I've been tempted by giffgaff in the past but a few of my friends and my daughter are on this and keep experiencing dropped calls, No Service and lagged internet which has put me off.

I loved using the Sony Xpria Z and would easily have that or the Z1 as a secondary phone.

I'm lucky enough to live in a City both with 4G signal and City Centre wide free Wifi. I hope yours comes about quickly. The speeds are amazing.

You've said that before, bob, but I don't understand why the signal should be any different using a GiffGaff sim as opposed to an O2 sim? They both access the network in the same way, don't they? How could it be different?

Morning Bambino,

My daughter uses giffgaff.

We were both sat in my home and accesssed the same internet page and hers failed while mine on o2 went through ok. Not everytime I must add.

Ive done this at my house and hers.

We then visited a coffee shop in our City Centre some days after.

The same happened again but not every time but enough to make me have second thoughts.

She has swapped out her sim card just incase it was causing the issue, and tried her sims in other makes of phone.

Occasionally she gets No service yet the O2 service status is showing fine.

I've spoken to a coiple of friends who are also on Giffgaff and they report similar instances and lag on the internet.

Recently her service was none existant yet mine was stable.

Its weird but in our case is happening.

I'm wondering if somehow o2 customers get priority over Giffgaff Customers {probably not}
