I've got a really old O2 contract which costs ne £119.99 a year.  This gives me 12 months line rental and 75 minutes inclusive calls a month.

This includes all 01/02 numbers, all 0800/0845/0870 numbers (I've never called any other 08 numbers so I don't know for sure) and all 07 mobile numbers that are on the O2 network.

They keep trying to con me out of this tariff by trying to renew my 12 month contract after only 10 months, but I keep all my old invoices and politely tell them that it is a 12 month contract, not 50 or 51 weeks.

So, if I can't find a geo or 0800 number for an 0845/0870 number, I use my mobile (or ring from work, where we also have 0870 numbers, and get the company to call  me back!).



You're basically paying £10 a month for all this.

Whilst I can see your point that it's an old tariff and O2 want to keep changing you, just because it's no longer available to new customers doesn't make it a good deal.

Your 75 minutes are actually costing about 15p per minute, which is far more than calling on a BT landline (even with their new prices!!)

I recently went to cancel my O2 contract which I had on a 12 months free rental deal anyway, and O2 offered this tariff with less than 50 minute and less than 50 texts (can't remember the exact deal) which normally costs £16 per month, with £10 off the bill making it £6 per month.

When I said no, they then offered £100 cashback on top of their current deal, meaning that for the next year I'll be paid to have a phone again!!

One way of looking at this would be that you pay £10pm for 75 minutes...= 13.33p/min?
