O2 iPhone Contracts - Unlimited texts on 26th Feb

[Bux]

Ive been told that on 26th Feb O2 are changing all their iPhone tarrifs above £35 to include unlimited texts.

So if you are already with O2 then you should be able to ring them up and get them to swap it over so you can have unlimited texts.


About time.....

I hope this is true. My mate told me after he rang up O2 to try and get unlimited on his iphone contract.

 

[MaLicE]

if thats true what about people that have paid for the unlimited txt bolt on? do i get a refund?

 

[Laura]

i also have the unlimited text bolt on

 

[AK]

Seems like the only logical thing they could have done after Voda released the iPhone with unlimited texts..

 

[Bux]

if thats true what about people that have paid for the unlimited txt bolt on? do i get a refund?

Just get them to remove the bolt on then. You wont get a refund on what you've paid so far but you wont have to pay the extra anymore

 

[DrR]

I'd be happy with a iPhone that doesn't break and have to be sent back everytime i update it.

 

[Bucko]

Does anyone really use all the 600 free messages you already get?!

 

[Gavin.]

i dont, or my minutes either for that matter

gets reset on the 2.3.10 and so far i used:

45.51 mins out of 1200

and

145 out of 500 texts

 

[Laura]

i send around 100 messages a day... so doesnt even last a week lol

 

[Bucko]

f**k that, i use about 200 minutes and 200 texts a month. I get so much more value for money now that i'm on a simplicty contract (waiting for the next iphone )

 

[James.f]

Ye i used to txt like 2000 a month before, since i have got the iphone iv cut it down to about 700, so this unlimited will be preety handy for me

 

[young_lew]

Of the 1200 minutes they give me I normally use 150 lol, but I max out the 500 txts they give me.

If this applies to existing customers then that's good as I refuse to purchase the bolt-on

 

[Luke.]

i use around 1400 texts so waiting for these tariffs to take effect then i can get my iphone!

 

[172Ben]

Be better waiting for the new one surely?

 

[Luke.]

Be better waiting for the new one surely?

anyone know if there is a new one coming out?? and when??

 

[Sumner]

Thats the right idea tbh, I have just finished my contract and now on rolling contract untill the summer when the new one comes out.

f**k that, i use about 200 minutes and 200 texts a month. I get so much more value for money now that i'm on a simplicty contract (waiting for the next iphone )

 

[Liam@redmonkey]

I txt abroad alot and it uses 4 of my free txts for one txt. Wonder what happens if i have unlimited txts????

Anyone?

 

[Bux]

anyone know if there is a new one coming out?? and when??

It's expected to be released in July, thats when the others were released

 

[Kerryclio]

Can't wait I <3 unlimited texts

 

[Ben]

This best be true as I only get 500 messages 600 minutes and I absolutely nail through the texts

 

[ADY 554D]

a mate of mine rang o2 the other day trying to haggle a upgrade to a iphone with unlimited texts and he was told to ring back after the 26th so this seems to be true..

 

[Daz]

I stopped sending most texts when I got the iPhone.. I just e-mail the same people.

I use about 800-900 minutes, and 45 text, Heh.

Do you have an 8gb 3G? If so I had 3 of these last year due to same problem!
Eventually got it changed to a 16g 3GS and not had a problem since!

This is good news as i was sending about 3,000 texts a month and the bills were ludicrous, i phoned up to ask for a different plan a while ago and the guy said all they could do was give me a 500 text bundle for £5 a month.

Unlimited texts is the way to go.

I have used 18 minutes worth of calls in the 6 months i've had the phone.

3,000 texts at let say a 1 minute to write and send, being generous but I'm not factoring in reading the responses works out at 50 hours a month texting.

I hope it's single burds you're texting these days lol!

That would be about right, i would text from 8pm untill midnigt when i was nightshift and if i was dayshift it would be pretty much constant.

Some replies would only be a one word answer though, this would bring the average time down. lol

 

[safe9998]

Any confirmation that this is the case. Would be really handy!

 

[magh]

Although dont get too carried away, when a contact states unlimited texts, this is actuallly capped to 3000 any after that point you will be charged for.

 

[eves]

So just a case of calling o2 up then to get the unlimited texts???

 

[Bux]

Pretty much. Just call them up and get them to change to a tarriff with unlimited texts

jesus thats sad, how old are you? 3000 a month?? my god i thought women were the worst for this

 

[NOT! gary l]

Not really sure what age has got to do with it.

 

[Laura]

Would this men then your contract would be different? ie run for longer?

is it for new customers only?

looked on the site and i cant see anything, have a feeling it will only apply to new contracts or upgrades

 

[Ronnie R]

My bill atm is £52 a month booo!

I dont even use 1200 mins, need to downgrade when I can.

 

[Gally]

My missus was going to go to vodafone next week for her iphone as she's with o2 the unlimited texts might keep her with o2.

So £35+ contracts only?

 

[NOT! gary l]

Still waiting on this being confirmed, can't find anything on the interweb.

 

[Ronnie R]

TBH the contracts are f**king annoying I might even go Pay as you go when new iPhone is released!

 

[Acejon]

Me to. iphone Simplicity: 1200 texts, 600mins, unlimited wifi/internet bolt on = £20 a month, i.e. £15 quid cheaper and only a 30 contract compared to pay monthly iPhone contract
