O2 Travel changed 26th march 2013

[adamtemp64]

You now get the following

On pay monthly you get 15mb data for your £1.99 and can add £15mb blocks for 1.99 by texting moredata to 23336 cost 8.5p a sms.

Data stops at end of 15mb.

Calls now only the 50p connection charge for 60 mins (no longer uses allowance) hang up before 60mins to avoid charges.

Sms all cost 8.5p to send free to recieve

On Business as above but rates less vat i.e £1.66 +vat, 7p + vat an sms to add extra 15mb, 41p +vat connection charge and sms to send 7p + vat

On Payg (pages not updated yet still says 25mb) Will update if it changes 25 mb extra blocks text TRAVEL25 to 21300 a free sms. Call costs as per eu rates recieving a call 7p a min making a call to eu or uk 28p a min sending a sms 8p

Hope that makes the changes clear

Hi,

The Pay & Go 25MB limit has not dropped as part of the changes to O2 Travel introduced on the 26/3. The changes only impacted PAYM and Business customers.

Hi,

So on payg I text TRAVEL25 to 21300 and get 25mb of data for £1.99 anywhere in EU?

And when this expires am I given the option to add another 25mb?

If I don't do this am I automatically on 69p/mb?

Can I send the first text before I leave or should I wait till I arrive in Europe?

What about using o2Travel for calls and texts does that also require that I text TRAVEL25 to 21300 in advance?

Sorry for the questions!

Cheers!

I believe you now only get 15 Mbs of data for your £1.99.

Too right as well why should pay as you go get more than monthly for the same cost

Thanks. It was more the mechanics of the service than the volume of data tbh. Got skinned badly on pay monthly last year and just wanted to know how it operates on this payg sim i got for the holiday. FWIW i just texted the number and I apparently have 25mb of data to use before midnight - not great since I'm sitting at home on wifi lol.

Sounds about right considering the current shambles O2 is in.
