  • Breakdown of £899 saving on Ultimate Plan:Total figure based on comparison of inclusive Ultimate Plan benefits calculated over a 36-months contract (depending which streaming service they take) vs standard cost if added to a Classic Plan, consisting of: O2 Satellite (£3pm), either Disney+ Premium (£14.99pm), Cafeyn (£7.99pm) or Amazon Prime (£8.99pm). McAfee Protect Advance (£4.99pm). Roaming 1GB in Zone 2 = £9 per day or O2 travel zone = £7 per day.
  • Breakdown of £350 saving on Plus Plan:Total figure based on comparison of inclusive Plus Plan benefits vs standard cost if added to a Classic Plan, consisting of: O2 Travel Inclusive Zone bolt-on (average cost £2pm – calculated over a 36-months contract), O2 Switch Up (usual cost £6.99pm – calculated over 36 months), an additional Extra (usual cost up to £8.99pm – calculated average of Disney+ Standard Plan (£9.99) and Amazon Prime (£8.99) over 3 months).

  • Data Rollover:For example, if a customer on an eligible plan has a 50GB data allowance but only uses 30GB, the remaining 20GB will roll over – giving them 70GB to use at no extra cost the following month. If they then use 60GB of that data, no additional rollover applies, and their tariff will reset to the customer’s standard monthly allowance (in this case 50GB) for the next cycle.
