O2 Open Questions

[Anonymous]

As a Siemens employee, I believe we're eligible for the O2 Open discount scheme, but have a question.

The lady in the O2 shop mentioned that we got a discount, and said that it is 30%.  Looking at the S5, which on a £38/month contract breaks down as £20 for paying for the handset and £18 for the tariff, but the discount only applies to the tariff, making it £12.60 for a total of £32.60/month?

However, having learnt of the discount, I went delving into our (quite frankly useless) corporate deals site and found the O2 open discount mentioned, and that talks of £75 credit on a £20+/month contract and £50 for under £20.

Which of these is the current deal?  There seems to be mention of both on the forums here from a quick search.

The old O2 Open deal was for a £75 credit on yoru account.

Since moving to O2 refresh contracts, the discount is now a 30% discount off the Airtime portion of your contract.

Hope this helps!

Edit: I better add that these figures were for the NHS O2 Open discount, so may differ for you!

Thanks for that

It doesn't surprise me that our corporate discount site is wrong/outdated.  It does take you to a page that isn't actually an O2 page, but the T&Cs link at the bottom does link to the O2 T&Cs page.  I would try contacting them.... but wouldn't hold much hope on them doing anything.

I think the 30% is the standard discount.

Yes I can confirm and back up the above statement or 30% off the airtime.
Note it is 30% off the pre vat price then vat is added to that. So it's £18 - vat - 30% + vat

If the discount is taken off pre-VAT, then it doesn't make any difference (by my maths) as it would be:

£18 inc 20% VAT = £15 without VAT.

30% off £15 is £10.50

Then £10.50+ VAT is £12.60.
