Mobile operator O2 (Virgin Media) has this morning announced that new and upgrading customers on their ‘Pay Monthly Plus’ or ‘Ultimate Plan’ (phone, tablet, or SIM only) can make the most of any unused 4G or 5G data (mobile broadband) each month as it will now roll over to their following months’ airtime allowance.
For example, if a customer on an eligible plan has a 50GB data allowance but only uses 30GB, the remaining 20GB will roll over – giving them 70GB to use at no extra cost the following month. If they then use 60GB of that data, no additional rollover applies, and their tariff will reset to the customer’s standard monthly allowance (in this case 50GB) for the next cycle.
Both the Plus Plans and Ultimate Plans from O2 offer other benefits and savings too, such as additional destinations to roam in (more than the standard 49 destinations), a 3-year mobile phone warranty and the ability to Switch Up, a perk that allows customers to switch their handset for any new phone of their choice, every 90 days.
Christian Hindennach, CCO of VMO2, said:
“We understand the need for flexibility – life is not always predictable – which is why we are always looking to evolve our plans and perks to meet life’s shifting needs. Data rollover is the latest benefit we are bringing to O2 customers to help keep them connected and entertained when they need it the most – at no extra cost.
Data rollover joins a host of other value enhancing benefits O2 customers can enjoy. From inclusive EU roaming, to 20% off airtime costs with Multisave, and a huge range of experiences and rewards on Priority, we’re committed to enriching life’s most important moments for our customers.”
Naturally this doesn’t benefit O2’s unlimited data plans and the double data Volt benefit is also excluded. Any data that does automatically get rolled over will last for 1 monthly billing cycle only.
