1. GENERAL
- Save for certain SIM Only tariffs, O2 Pay Monthly is subject to status, credit-check, payment by direct debit and the terms of an 18 or 24 month minimum term O2 contract. After connecting or upgrading to a minimum term contract, you can only move to the next available lower priced tariff with a lower rate monthly subscription once during your minimum term and only after you are more than halfway through your minimum term. When you tell us you want to move to the next lower tariff, unless we tell you otherwise, the new tariff will start at the start of your next billing cycle. If you move from a tariff which is not currently available you will not be able to change back to your previous tariff. (this may differ for iPhone customers depending on when you connected, please check the terms stated in your iPhone contract).
- SIM only tariffs are subject to status, credit-check, and payment by direct debit. Save for when expressly stated otherwise (for certain SIM only offers with alternative minimum terms, for example the SIM only offer with a 12 month minimum term), you may give us written notice that you wish to end your SIM only contract or change tariff at any time, and this will be effective 30 days after we receive your notice. In the event that you are on a SIM only tariff that allows you to end your contract on 30 day's notice, you will be required to pay the applicable monthly charge for your SIM only tariff until the end of this 30 day notice period.
- If applicable, Pay Monthly handset upgrades are not available until the end of any existing minimum term contract and are subject to signing a new minimum term contract. A handset is not provided when you select a SIM only tariff.
- If you take a SIM only tariff, your current mobile phone may be latched/locked to another network and you may need to obtain an unlatching/unlocking code from your current network operator and service provider. This code is not the same as your PIN code. Failure to enter the correct unlatching code may result in your mobile phone becoming permanently blocked. We accept no responsibility for mobile phones blocked in this way or for any costs incurred in the provision of this code.
- Unused inclusive minutes, data and messages cannot be carried forward one month to the next on any tariffs. Existing customers transferring tariffs will lose any accrued rollover allowance.
- Unless otherwise stated, call prices include VAT, are quoted by the minute, and are charged in one second increments. Each call is charged excluding VAT and then rounded-up to the nearest penny. VAT is then added to the total of all charges on your bill.
- To access O2's data services your mobile device must be data compatible and enabled. Access to data services is subject to network coverage.
- Prices are correct at time of going to print but are subject to change.
- Prices shown are for payment by Direct Debit only; different payment methods, if permitted, may incur additional charges.
- Itemised billing shall only be available online at no additional charge. Paper bills may be available in limited circumstances to certain customers (save for iPhone customers) upon request at a charge, and the customer shall be advised of such charge accordingly by O2.
- Other promotional SIM only offers: minimum terms may vary as expressly specified by O2 from time to time on certain promotional SIM only offers and certain offers may be subject to credit checks.
