Learn more about Extras
- What is an Extra?
When you take out selected O2 Refresh phone, tablet and sim only contracts, you'll get to handpick an Extra, on us. Whether you’re into movies, music, reading, or you want to keep in touch with loved ones overseas, you can find an Extra that’s perfect for you. Find out more about our Extras.
- Who can have an Extra?
O2 Pay Monthly customers can have an Extra. You’ll get one Extra included on selected tariffs, if you’re a new or upgrading customer and you shop with us directly. But if you want to add any Extras and pay for them through your monthly bill, you can do this in My O2 whenever you like. You'll just need to have joined or upgraded since 2010. See our latest Extras.
- What tariffs include an Extra?
You’ll get one Extra included on selected tariffs, if you’re a new or upgrading customer. But if you've joined or upgraded since 2010, you can add Extras in My O2, and pay for them through your monthly bill. These will be fully chargeable subscriptions.
- I already pay for one of these subscriptions. Can I still choose this Extra?
No, you can only get an Extra if you don’t already have an existing subscription with that partner.
- Can I have more than one Extra?
On selected tariffs you'll get one Extra included. But if you've joined or upgraded since 2010, you can add Extras in My O2, and pay for them through your monthly bill. These will be fully chargeable subscriptions.
- Are Extras free of charge?
You'll get one Extra included on selected tariffs. Your included Extra will be free of charge or discounted for an introductory period. At the end of that period, you'll need to pay a monthly subscription fee for your Extra, which we'll add to your monthly bill. You can opt out of the subscription at any time in My O2.
- What types of Extras are available?
We've got a range of Extras available. They cover movies, music, reading, or keeping in touch with loved ones overseas. If you take out a new contract, you’ll get an Extra included for a certain period of time, with selected tariffs. You can add an Extra at any time in My O2, but these will be fully chargeable subscriptions.
- How many Extras can I have on my account?
You can add as many Extras as you want to your account, but you’ll need to pay for any that aren’t included with your tariff.
- Can I share my included Extra with a friend or family member?
Yes, but bear in mind that all charges after the introductory period will be charged directly to your O2 bill. So you’ll still be responsible for all charges associated with the Extra, even if you’ve given it to a friend or family member.
- How long does my included Extra last for?
Most Extras last for three or six months depending on the tariff you’ve chosen. Take a look at the tables to learn more.
