Review about: O2
long paid-off phone regret
Having been with the network for about 10 years now, I have to say their coverage is alright, but once you leave London, the signal isn't great. What really bothers me about O2 is their pricing strategy when it comes to phone payments. I made the mistake of getting an iPhone 12 through them and I really wish I hadn't. The issue is you end up paying more than the phone is worth each year as it loses value. I've paid O2 over 600 quid for a phone now valued at around 200, that's a big loss. On top of that, the sim costs are ridiculously high and there's no option to change data plans based on your usage. There aren't any more perks to sticking with O2 as there are no discounted rates for calls and texts within the network. With their expensive pricing, I'm thinking about switching to a cheaper network like Smarty or Honest Mobile. Overall, the prices at O2 are just too steep to keep me with them any longer.
