VOLT Benefit on new Sims Purchased Indirectly

[2VmQz]

I'm on O2 and Virgin media, had 2 Sims which I requested volt added when transferred from Virgin.

I want to get some new Sims for the volt travel benefit, was obviously looking for the best deal and came across T&C buy could not find a list of what distributers qualify.  Can't seem to get a valid list from O2 as what company is valid & which may not be valid for volt.

Terms state.

10.  Purchases made through a third party distributor other than nominated indirect channels are excluded and do not qualify for this Offer.

Where can I safely buy O2 deals which qualify.

Purchases via the USwitch affiliated links work fine for Volt benefits.

Many of us on here have purchased via that route @2VmQz

Thanks for sharing that experience. My only gripe is it's in the terms so buying from some unknown 3rd party may not quality.  I'm thinking if I get perhaps a great black Friday deal somewhere but then it turns out that it's not on their 3rd party distributer list then I could lose out.  

I will only join further sims for the specific benefits such as the travel benefit which is better than the standard EU roaming.

Ideally to be sure, we need this list ,🤷🏽‍♂️

I'm not aware of any such list existing but it's safe to say that only purchases which ultimately go through the O2 website would qualify.

The only places it will not be applicable is if you get the o2 sim from the likes of esim.net and ScanCom, so any o2 Business Wholesale customers.. 

These are the only 2 I can think of...

The closest I could find to a list was 

https://www.o2.co.uk/business/contact-us/partners

Otherwise the only other reference was a 2011 article which mentioned indirect partners, thinking the likes of phones4u etc, or whatever company still exists that may be partnered since those times.

As suggested, I think it's safer to stick with uSwitch or otherwise referrals Which lead back to o2's website to complete the purchase.

@2VmQz That list is companies that do business accounts and they are excluded from Volt
