O2 is launching a new proposition which offers customers up to four SIMs to connect to the O2 30-day online simplicity tariffs. The first customer can give the three other SIMs to friends and family which, once connected, will give them unlimited O2 to O2 texts and unlimited O2 to O2 calls.
There are three simplicity tariffs available:
300 cross-net minutes and 600 anytime texts for £14.69
600 cross-net minutes and 1200 anytime texts for £19.58
1200 cross-net minutes and 2400 anytime texts for £29.38
All tariffs come with unlimitedO2 to O2 texts and unlimited O2 to O2 calls.
A customer can order up to 4 SIMs by sending a text to 66102 with their details or via a web link: www.o2.co.uk/ordermysim. SIMs will be received within seven days. The first person activates their SIM online and then passes the remaining three to friends and family who can activate theirs. The promotion is limited to one order per household.
This is a stormer of an idea – lots of people are considering the simplicity tariff as a cheaper way to go at the moment – so why not leverage that and promote it!!
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
