o2 customer retentions department slightly flexible
You know o2 and their £100 a meg data policy? (Ok, slight exaggeration)
Well, SMS Text News reader Owen has had a bit of luck with them. He posted this today:
Link: SMS Text News » o2 chumps, attention: Get unlimited data for £10/month
My contract had run out so I phoned O2 and INSISTED on being put through to “retentions†I then played hell about my data charges and said I’d leave then and there if they did not give me unlimited data plan for free(OK aim high!!) They did a deal with me.
I got £100 quid cashback plus 20MB data a month free (I’m on a £30 contract) I had to extend my contract 12 months not too bad, sorted thanks again Owen
That’s better than a kick in the teeth — and 20mb is a reasonable amount of data to get at no additional cost from such a stupidly expensive network.
Good work Owen. You must have spoken to a very nice o2 retentions specialist.


my contracts coming up to end soon, i’m getting unlimited data or i am leaving, that’s a fact, i also want a HTC touch thrown in, 500 texts and 500 minutes for about £20 a month, now that’s aiming high
