Tarrif questuion - £15 big bundle.

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I've just got my first nre phone in 10 years (..yes, really !) and I'm on the £15 Big Bundle tariff. The expiry date is 24th July. Does this mean that I'll actually lose any  unused texs/minutes/data if I don't top up again by that date. Chances are I'm not goung to get anywhere near using it all as I don't really use a mobile much. If this is the case, is there a better tariff for me a s a relatively light user ?

Hi

Yes as they don't roll over.

Perhaps think about o2 unlimited which give some allowance but you also keep the credit you've topped up with.

You can change your tariff via myo2

None of the Big Bundles are ideal for a light user at all and the unlimited tariffs don't offer so much value for money, but apart from a different network (or MVNO), the unlimited tariffs are the best you can get to suit you at the moment.

We don't know what phone your using but if it is a smartphone take into account some apps do update in the background and as such do use data to do so.

At home I switch off mobile data in my phones settings to remain on WiFi and not use my data allowance. 

I'd suggest trying out what your on and see if your usage does change to using more.

If not then it's easy to change as I've indicated.

Hi @Anonymous And welcome to the O2 Users Community. 

If you are not tied into a 12 month contract it may be worth your while having a look at giffgaff  - they are owned by Telephonica and use the O2 network.  They offer some very attractive SIM deals - For example for £12 you can get 250 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited data.  If you are already on O2 you don't even need to unlock your phone.  If you want further details have a look at http://giffgaff.com/goodybags

Good luck.

He might still benefit from giffgaff PAYG rates though for a light user the SIM I use in the Note is what I'd recommend these days.

I agree.... I keep credit on my gg sim which is only used occasionally until I get a trial device then I get a goodybag for that period and revert back to credit only at other times.

Exactly what I do @MI5

Works great with the free gg to gg calls too
