- Monthly Data Bolt Ons
- The Ultimate One Off Bolt On
- The Snack One Off Bolt On
1. Web Daily
Once all your tariff and Bolt On data allowances have been used, any data usage in our Europe Zone will be charged at Web Daily rates. This will happen automatically provided you have sufficient credit. You will be charged at a rate of £3 per MB until you have spent £2 on data usage. At this point, further usage of data for that day will be free subject to a fair usage of 100MB for the day.
Your Web Daily data allowance will not roll over from one day to another. For the avoidance of doubt, a day shall mean from 00:00 to 23:59 UK time on any given day.
In the event that you use the full 100MB Web Daily allowance, you can purchase the Web Daily Bolt On for £1 which gives you a further 50MB to use that day.
Web Daily allows you use of O2 UK's GPRS/Edge/3G/4G networks (as applicable to your handset and tariff and depending on your network coverage) and other mobile networks in our Europe Zone, and subject to the following excessive usage policy. All usage must be for your private, personal and non-commercial purposes. You may not use your SIM Card:
in, or connected to, any other device including modems; or
to allow the continuous streaming of any audio / video content, P2P or file sharing; or
in such a way that adversely impacts the service to other O2 customers; or
if O2 reasonably suspects you are not acting in accordance with this policy O2 reserves the right to impose standard charges (see o2.co.uk for details), impose network protection controls which may reduce your speed of transmission or disconnect your tariff for further data use until the following day.
Data usage is measured in kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB) and gigabytes (GB). 1 megabyte (MB) = 1024 Kilobytes (KB). 1 gigabyte (GB) = 1024 megabytes (MB).
Subject to Clause 12 of the Pay As You Go Service Terms, O2 reserves the right to amend these Terms or the excessive usage policy and/or the Bolt On services at any time. Our updated Terms/policy will be posted on our website so please check our website from time to time. If we increase charges for the elements of the Service you are using we will notify you in accordance with the Pay as You Go Service Terms before the changes become effective. Please refer to the Pay As You Go Service Terms for more details on our rights to vary and (if applicable) your rights to cancel.
These Terms shall not apply to Pay As You Go Mobile Broadband or iPad services.

You can purchase the Web Daily Bolt On by texting WEBDAILY to 21300.
The 50MB allowance you receive from the Web Daily Bolt On will expire at 23:59 UK time for the day on which you purchase the Bolt On.

Each time you purchase the Web Daily Bolt On, an additional 50MB of data in our Europe Zone will be added to any remaining allowance from your previous purchase(s) of the Bolt On. You will be charged £1 each time the Web Daily Bolt On is successfully applied.
If you have the Web Daily Bolt On and a data allowance included within your tariff, your Web Daily Bolt On data allowance will always be used before your tariff's inclusive data allowance.

The 4G package will only allow you to access our 4G services in the UK and in our Europe Zone (excluding the UK) where available.
Our speed caps are variable and we reserve the right to implement 4G speed caps in future. Please refer to the Pay As You Go Service Terms for more details on our rights to vary and (if applicable) your rights to cancel. Any details will be listed on our website.
Our 4G services are variable in nature and may be affected by the number of people using the 4G service, maintenance and upgrades, faults from other networks, the weather, other environmental factors or degradation.
You should check our coverage checker at o2.co.uk/coveragechecker before signing up to our 4G services. This is an indication and prediction of outdoor coverage, but coverage may vary depending on time and location. Data reception and speeds may not be as good indoors or in a car. Radio-based mobile technologies can also be affected by local factors including buildings, trees and even weather conditions. The coverage checker is a guide and does not guarantee signal coverage. Check for live network updates in affected areas at status.o2.co.uk/.
In order to access 4G services you will need a 4G ready phone, 4G services package, 4G sim card and you may need to do a software update on your phone if it does not have the software required to access 4G services. You're responsible for ensuring you have inserted your 4G sim and installing a 4G software update on your phone (if required). You must follow any instructions we send you about accessing our 4G network. Visit o2.co.uk/4g/setup for more details.
Once you have access to our 4G services, you will be able to access mobile internet data over our 4G network whenever you are in a 4G coverage area. When in our other mobile data network areas (for example Edge/GPRS/3G/HSPA areas) you will still be able to access non-4G data over these networks as usual.
Your data allowance (where applicable) will be used for all our different types of mobile data (for example Edge/GPRS/3G/HSPA areas) and will not differentiate between the types of mobile data you are using.
