iPhone customers on O2 now get more bang for their buck
So we've got to ask -- if the iPhone is allegedly O2's best selling device ever, why is fat already getting trimmed out of the carrier's plan offerings? No bother; we've always found that when a carrier wants to give us more for our hard-earned quid, we're best off blindly accepting the offer and asking questions later. A tariff restructuring currently underway now gives £35 / month subscribers 600 voice minutes and 500 texts -- up from 200 of both -- while current £55 / month subscribers will see £10 shaved off their bills and the current £45 plan goes away. The high-end £75 plan rolls deep with 3,000 minutes and 500 texts; not unlimited, granted, but at least all three new plans still include unlimited data. Current owners shouldn't have to do anything to see the benefits of the new plans.[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

This news is about a week old. Why put it up today?

Because some people still hadn't heard about it yet. Some people don't read 15 different blogs. Better late than never.

Which plan are you on? That seems like the unlimited text iPhone plan.
Being on the lowest voice plan possible (450 minute/5000NW/unlimited M2M) and the lowest priced iPhone data plan (200TXT), and adding random stuff, I keep my biil under 80$ after taxes.
In comparison, the cheapest o2 plan is about the same costs (do conversions and you'll see it is about $64/month before other items like taxes). They just get more texts and voice minutes than the comparable AT&T plan.

Surur - not all customers have been transitioned yet. We think the news is still relevant.
