customer service is good, its all UK based, they don't have any staff outside the UK. Signal as I said to you before in the previous post, you need to go onto the o2 website, and put in your postcode in the network coverage section of the website, to find out what your coverage is like. We wont know here, we can tell you what our own coverage is like, but won't know your area, unless you check yourself, or if you give us the post code we can check for you.
edit: go here:
http://www.webmap.o2.co.uk/
and follow the instructions then you can check your coverage.

As from January 1st, as stated in the small print in the brochure and on the website, video calls no longer come out of your free minutes.

i wouldnt rely to much on the postcode coverage map as my sister checked her postcode and it said good coverage but shes lucky to get one bar signal, i checked where i live and it says 3g coverage which is wrong i dont get 3g at all, but i do get a full gsm signal all the time and i mean full! |

I'm hearing rumours that 02 will include free data on all their tarifs soon? Anyone else have any info on that?

Ah, ok, thanks for that, I'll be having a closer look next time I'm at work 
And they already do give you inclusive data, just not much.
All tariffs that are £30/month and under give you 100kb, the £35/month and above give you 512KB. The online contracts give you 1MB.

Lets be honest, that amount of free data is a waste of time. I'm talking about 200mb or more a month for free.

Yeah, and while their at it, they'll give you a free flying pony named Bob and a gold weaved carpet made by blind nuns. Every month, for 18 months.
In otherwords, 200MB a month free is financial suicide, I really wish people would give the f-ing networks a break and stop expecting everything their heart desires given to them on a plate for nothing...

Just to give you an idea, as I just realised, 200MB per month to each and every of O2's estimated 17m customers in the UK alone is 38910TB (yes, TB) per year.

iv been with o2 for a while now and never really had any problems, their coverage has always really good for me.
Just wondering for those that work at o2 im getting a staff discount 30% on my tariff, just waiting for o2 to change my billing onto some other system so i can get the discount, aparently you ned to do this for upgrades and just wondering if i should wait till next month as iv heard new tariffs are coming out?
any truth in this?

I have been with O2 for the last year and its a massive improvement over Orange.
2g signal for me is excellent, very rare i get any problems where ever i go in to the uk.
3g signal is well extremely poor. I live in a town and get 2g only, I have to travel at least 10 miles to at least pick a 3g signal up. I dont even think 3g is gr8 when you get it in cities etc.
GPRS - Edge, Very good, never had a problems at all.
Video calls are smooth (When i have 3g coverage) and they are removed from your allocation of mins.
MMS has never failed me.
They are the cheapest network aborad for most of there calls and if you are on contract and have a sms allowence, you can use your allowence aborad from mms and sms. (1 sms from aborad will remove 4 from the allowence)
The Wap bundle i have is gr8, I can use it on everything and its never failed.
** Customer care is extremely good, Never had a problem at all, staff are friendly and very helpful. If they are unsure, they will try to find out for you.
I have heard the same about the Tarrifs, very tight lipped tho |

Darren - I too moved from Orange to O2 due to me getting sod all Orange signal in my new house, O2 has no such bother! I havnt even bothered upgrading my O2 Sim to 3G because my town has no 3G coverage, I also have to drive 10 miles or so to get 3G, I can live without that tho
Otherwise Im very pleased with O2!! |
