Paul,
That would be the case if I were within the 14 days but I negotiated a revised deal with VM Volt on 28/12/22 and received an O2 bill 3 days later, despite not receiving a SIM for another week. I couldn’t open the bill as I did not have an MyO2 app. My free Oomph SIM ends on 28/1/23 so it made no sense using the O2 SIM as my VM was free. Only after inserting the SIM from O2 giving myself a few days grace before the end of my current Oomph deal did I find out that what you include in my Volt deal does not work. Unfortunately the 14 days are well passed, which I now regret but with the size of O2 I didn’t give a thought to the fact that their network signal in my area is useless.
Just so I get this straight, what you are suggesting is I change from my current deal and pay much more for the Virgin broadband and TV?
I might seem stupid but I’m not.
I just wanted others to know that moving from Oomph to Volt and hence V mobile free SIM to a £25:00 pcm O2 SIM might involve going to another mobile network to get a mobile signal that works and putting the expensive O2 SIM in a drawer because unlike the famous stain manufacturer “it does not do what it says on the tin!”
It still might be cheaper than paying the reversionary price for the full Virgin package, however. It just seems crazy for VM to force me to have an O2 SIM that doesn’t work and if you are reading this thinking of the O2 inclusive deal, make sure you can get a signal, and don’t have to jump in the car to make a network ‘free in my Volt deal’ phone call
