I had it last week. Not sure what it is but there's talk of their 3G launch!
They already have 3G handsets on their website.
Posted by amfne033
if it is 3g then i hope they give a month or 2 free. but until i get a 3g handset ( hopefully the next Pseries) i have to wait.

Lol 1st April
Posted by amfne033
I did notice that it would be April 1st. But i shall be on the phone to them if they say they are going to reward me with something then turn around and say it was a pi*s take april fools.

But their 3G network launched on the 6th of February this year, did it not ? so surely it cant be that.
Maybe they're going to launch proper customer services ?
Posted by batesie
or its 3G on Pay as you go...
Posted by amfne033
What ever they do, wiill it work on a p900 or p910?, or do i have to buy a new phone?(which i dont think i will), is it free? cos i am not paying a fortune for faster access(3g).
Posted by jcwhite_uk
Its more than likely that they are changing the way that their PAYG system works. I suspect that they introduce their 3G services to payg.
Posted by amfne033
What ever they do i hope it doesnt effect FREE GPRS
Posted by MikLSP
Well whatever it is we'll find out on Friday.
My guess is 3G PAYG but we shall see
Posted by elperro
could be i-mode?
O2 are meant to be launching i-mode sometime this year

I am on o2 and i havnt had that text yet, could it be coz i am on the o2 sim with the 300 texts and 1mb free wap?
Posted by MikLSP
I'm on O2 Online & I got it last week but my girlfriend hasn't had it. She's got the same type of SIM which we got at the same time & our numbers are even only two digits different.
Seems that its a bit hit & miss whether u get it, like so many other things with O2
Posted by etaab
I still think they're going to be launching proper customer services !
Maybe they're going to start giving all PAYG customers free GPRS for life, or free texts for life ?
That would certainly cement my O2 loyalty !
Posted by david1975
or they have been bought by someone else
Posted by djpowelly
I doubt that...
Posted by david1975
we can only hope ha ha
Posted by markmjh
just got a wap push message for this saying:
"On April 1st things are changing. We're creating a new world, one that revolves around you. After all, we think it's time you got something back."
Then there's a picture of the earth, and then
"Look out for the ways we'll be making your loyalty more rewarding"
Mmmmmmm, that clears things up a bit then!!!!
Posted by RichyH
I am sure I have read that Video call minutes which were included in the free minute allocation will now NOT be.
I'll try to find the print to confirm this.
Not much of an announcement is it?
best regards,

When I said to the o2 customer services about the sms, they said they knew nothing about it........
I went through lists of new handsets with customer services and nowt.
O2 shop in the nearby city just said double texts for 6 months with new contract or upgrade. But shop did say z800i coming soon!!

It's all on o2.co.uk:
"We think it's about time our existing customers were rewarded for their loyalty. After all, it's not only new customers who should feel special and wanted, is it?"
Although don't get excited long term contract holders, their marketing team seem to have forgotten that a vast amount of their "existing customers" are contract and not PAYG!
Posted by Sammy_boy
@peanut - why am I not surprised the long-term contract holders are left out of the equation, as usual?
Posted by djpowelly
Well, is th GPRS now chargable? I havent turned my O2 phone on for a while, so I dont know if the message got to me
!!
Posted by MikLSP
Still free
Posted by joebmc
Barsted o2, how dare they forget us contract members, think i will change network when upgrade is due (two months woo hoo)!
Posted by govigov
What EXACTLY is their offer?
Posted by ofiaich
Hi!
10.04pm and just saw an o2 advert on the TV.... that said
'reward customers', not just new customers, blah, blah crap ,......
absolutely nothing made clear... just to visit your local o2 store...
Argh.... repeated..
Pay and go.. 10% back.. text reward to 502....
Ofiaich
Posted by Jake Blues
this is nothing new!!
in the sim packs i got with the last lot of free sims i got it said existing customers could get £50 of credit if they ring a number off thier old sim then ring it again from thier new sim. doing it disconnects the old number.
is it just me or is it a way to get rid of the old genie, U, etc numbers? ie. the loss leading tarrifs?

All on here.

Sounds too good to be true!
Edited For Wappers;
10% back on all your top-ups every three months
We think it's about time our existing customers were rewarded for their loyalty. After all, it's not only new customers who should feel special and wanted, is it?
So from April 1st we're giving every Pay & Go customer 10% back on all top-ups every three months. So, if you top-up £50, you'll get £5 free calltime at the end of the quarter.
(example)
Top-up in... April, May, June...
And you'll get 10% back in July
Here's very simply how...
Text REWARD to 50202 and start earning today.
Every time you top-up, you'll be earning 10% back and we'll text you to tell you how much free calltime you've built up and how to claim it at the end of the quarter.
If you simply can't wait to find out how much you're earning, text BALANCE to 50202 anytime and we'll let you know.
The more you top-up, the more you get back. There's no minimum top-up or time limits and the maximum you can get back is £150 a quarter, so that's up to £600 a year.
Just text REWARD to 50202 and make loyalty more rewarding.
Terms and Conditions apply

Also the 3G handsets were reduced, The Nokia 6630 that was £99.99 is now £19.99, and the other 3G handsets are free.
I ordered a 6630 lastnight on 3G contract

'Loyalty to Pay and Go customers'...
They already do this! Last year in November me and my sister got money off and offers when buying a new Pay and Go handset (or a Pay and Go Upgrade). I woz well chuffed wen i went to buy my new fone, didn't realise and never heard that they did this at the time. Instead of paying £150 for my K500i, i paid £120 and got £20 free credit. After buying mine, my sister decided to buy a new phone cuz of the offer and rewards, she got money off and got £50 free credit! However cuz it's an upgrade your expected to use your current O2 sim chip and so they'll take out the new sim out of the box from the new phone you're going to buy.
But it all depends on you, before purchasing a fone they'll check their systems for your number and bring up what offers are available to you. The O2 sales rep said 'One factor is the more you top-up, the better the rewards...'.
Get topping-up guys!!!
Posted by o44wen
for the guys that think that o2 already do this offer, sorry your wrong. This is a new offer. Each one of the offers are separate. You can have each of them. this new offer is just more extra "free" money we can claim back from o2.
You can this new extra top up credit which applies to everyone, even low top uppers
You can also have an offer of topping up £30 quid a month and getting free 300 anyone offpeak minutes (best for high users)
You can have the upgrade offer where you get free credit depending on how much you have topped up since your last upgrade.
You can also have the "regular" offer each year when during october, november, december you get and extra 10% of that credit added to you balance in january following.
In think thats all. I think o2 are the best network out there for rewarding its PAYG, pity I am on contract, but i must say their new 1 month SIM only contracts are looking a great option for me in august
I just wish they would sort out their current email support as it has gotten realy sh!t over the last year.
Posted by 50Cent
Will this work with the o2 300 free text genie sims??
Thanks
Posted by o44wen
I gues it is a o2 PAYG all round offer.
I have activated it on my mum and sister's phones, they are on o2Online PAYG. And also my dad's who is on o2 HighStreet PAYG.
All got text replies to say, welcome.
Posted by david1975
well i dont think much of their offer to be honest its not even a new idae is it virginnhave been doing it for some time now and even orange offer a percentage back if you top up 50 in one go when are o2 gonna come up with something original
Posted by o44wen
its better than nothing
Posted by david1975
well yeah but i still think rather than giving away money they should spend it on imp[roving their net work and sovle their sms software problems before they make offers likt this its only gonna get worse a few months down the line why dont they learn

Another mobile phone expert. Esato seems to be full of them.
