o2, Phone Home!
May 7th
Back in January I wrote about o2 Home Phone which was arriving in March. I’ve kept an eye on developments as I’ve been wanting to switch from my current home phone provider BT (British Telecom) for quite some time. The launch date of March was pushed back and o2 kept telling us it was coming in the Spring.
Having called o2 up a couple of days ago regarding an iPhone bolt-on, I was asked if there was anything else they could assist me with. I took the opportunity to enquire into when Home Phone was being launched. The lady told me it had launched now and put me through to the correct department to discuss it. I knew I wanted to switch so just asked there and then for my details to be taken so we could get the ball rolling.
The phone call took around 20-30 minutes, discussing the package I wanted to go on, bolt-ons and my Direct Debit details. You can also buy online if you prefer. There will be no distruption to my service while the switch is being made and I’ve been kept fully updated every step of the way via regular emails and texts letting me know the process was underway and that my switch date will be 20th May.
I chose their ‘Anytime’ package which will cost £12.50 per month and have also added on the Caller Display bolt-on which is approximately £1.75 extra per month. I am thoroughly looking forward to having my telecommunications service all under one roof with o2, with home phone, broadband and iPhone. Leaving BT after all these years is going to be one happy occasion.
If you are on o2 broadband already and are looking to sign up to their Home Phone service then do drop me a line as inviting a friend will result in both of us receiving a £20 voucher to spend at Amazon.co.uk.

o2 Home Phone
Jan 16th
Whilst on the phone to o2 a couple of months ago to change my Broadband payment details, the chap asked me if I needed help with anything else. I said everything was fine and that I was so happy with o2 that I wish they did a home phone, enabling me to move away from BT and use o2 for everything: mobile, broadband and home phone. He said that they were looking into doing that, but I didn’t give it much thought until yesterday when I discovered that o2 are launching their Home Phone in March.
I’m absolutely delighted with this news. Being able to finally move away from BT is a dream come true, whom I pay in excess of £100 per quarter to for my home phone. With o2 I will pay just £20 per month for Home Phone *and* Broadband – a saving of £40 per quarter. They have two packages available, ‘Evening & Weekend’ for £9.50 per month and ‘Anytime’ for £12.50 per month – both package prices include line rental. I am opting for the latter as it gives me unlimited calls to UK landlines at any time. So, that together with the £7.50 per month I pay for o2 Broadband I will be paying just £20 per month. You can see details on the tariffs at this page and also register your interest, here.
Roll on March. It’s going to be a very sweet day when I can smile and wave bye bye to BT.
