    Public Service Announcement for 02 UK Customers

    Just a public service announcement from me for all of you with an O2 mobile travelling in Europe this summer (rather than staying and sampling the delights of the lovely British climate).

    If you dial 2266 on your mobile and register (for free) to O2 European, you get massively reduced rates (60%) for incoming and outgoing calls when in most of Europe.

    Calls to the UK are reduced to 35p/per min (from 85p/per min) and received calls are reduced to 35p/per min (from 94p/per min). From 20th July received calls are reduced further to 28p/per min.

    Cheers for that, I'm off to France on Friday.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

      No problemo, you've gotta question why they don't just automatically apply the savings to all customers though

      And why the hell is it more expensive to receive a call than make one

        Its been around a while, I discovered it when I had to do a phone interview from Greece last year. It would of cost me about 100 quid for the interview ! Like you say a complete scam that it's not available automatically

          Just registered, it takes up to 72 hours to get confirmation so I'm glad I didn't leave it until Friday.

          I reckon they have been forced to do something about overpricing roaming customers and the 72 hour thing is a sneaky way of catching a few out that leave things to the last minute.

            yeah, sorry I should have put that in the original post. I registered yesterday and I've not had the SMS to confirm the savings have been applied yet.

                What they usually charge is outrageous, I went to Dublin for a weekend and used my phone no more than usual and my normal £35 bill leapt to over £50 that month, and I don't want to talk about what I was charged for a week's use in Italy.

                  I trust they're charging 50 quid a minute to phone 2266?

                    Makes me laugh, costs in the UK.

                    When in Cyprus I use a Cyprus SIM (pay-as-you-go). Costs me £10 for the SIM.

                    I can call the UK for about 10p a minute (inc all mobiles) and anyone calling me costs me nothing.

                    Rip off Britain.
