Pay and go, go, go or contract?

Anonymous
Not applicable

Bit of background, my contract with t-mobile ends soon and let me tell you they are awful so, I'm coming to o2 - my wife is already with o2 and loves them plus we get reception at home which I don't get with t-mob.

 

However, I can't decide between P+GGG at £10 or the £13.50 p/month contract which is currently reduced to £10.50 for 12 months.  Allowances are fine on either.

 

With the contract, after the initial 12 months at £10.50 it rises to £13.50, will it stay at this for evermore unless, of course I decide to upgrade?

 

What's the pluses and minuses of both please?

At the end of the 12 months it becomes a 30 rolling contract, so you are free to change tariffs if a better deal is available then.

 

Pay monthly can use a direct debit so you don't have to remember to pay the bill, I think O2 now does an auto top up for Pay and Go.

Cheers, very helpful so far. I'm with o2 for my broadband and am pleased with that so here's hoping. I just need to decide whether to get out of my t-mob contact 2 months early so as to ensure I can take up the current o2 offers on either of the plans. Do people think the offers will be on for some time?

I'd love to say yes but I don't think anyone knows. You could start to recoup any losses from buying out early in what 5 months:)

We find offers come and go all the time, but I think you are right to pick a network with the best coverage for where you live.

 

Lots of the offers get extended too.
