I'm currnetly on o2 and pay a ridiculous amount of money because i used to upgrade every year via o2 recycle. Currently i'm paying £85 quid (yes im an idiot) and my contract finally, finally ends in october. I was looking forwad to abandoning o2 after 18 years but instead i hear virgin media and o2 are merging...
So my questions:
1) Apparently having a virgin media tv/internet/landline package doesnt give you any sort of package with virgin mobile too? Any idea why they're treated as "separate"?
2) Do we know how long virgin media will use their third party network supplier? Any news on if they can go with o2s network quicker?
3) What do we think I should be doing at this point as a long term o2 customer and a long term virgin media customer? I seem to be at an awkward moment haha
Any advice on how to get a good contract will be appreciated too!

Yes Vince you are an idiot, you said you used to upgrade every year and you are still paying for the privelidge. A SIM only deal from O2 with unlimited calls, texts and data is £30 pm. You can get the same for £20 from smarty.
You are paying £55 a month for a new phone every year and then giving them your old one! I'm sorry but how stupid is that???
Put £50 a month in a savings account,get a new phone when you feel you need one, put your old phone back to factory settings, get an unlock code if needed (they have to supply it free at end of contract) and sell it on Ebay. You'll end up quids in
@gaz82 the deal with Vodaphone was signed in 2019.
