Who are O2 100 Min Contracts For?

When buying a mobile phone contract from O2 one of the most important factors is how many minutes you get per month. Mobile phone companies will often refer to these as “free” minutes although it’s really just the call time that you’re paying for each month. The cost of the contract is usually decided by how many minutes and texts that you get so an O2 100 min contract would be one of the cheaper options.

When buying a mobile phone it can be tempting to go for the cheapest option. However, you should keep in mind that it’s possible to run up large bills each month if you use more minutes than you’re allocated for your contract. For this reason you should always be aware of how much money extra minutes will cost on your tariff. You should also think carefully about how many minutes you require during an average month so you can get a contract that provides enough.

For example, if you regularly use 150 or 200 minutes a month then you need to be aware that if you get an O2 100 min contract you’ll have to cut down your phone usage or be willing to pay extra each month. In most cases paying extra for minutes will cost more than getting the minutes as part of a more expensive contract.

If you only require 100 minutes or less per month then you have another option. O2 offers “bolt ons” which allow you to buy minutes and texts for a pay as you go mobile phone. For example, the Landline 100 Bolt On costs £5.00 a month and will allow you to call landlines for 100 minutes before you’re charged any extra. If you don’t use your mobile phone regularly then getting a pay as you go mobile and using bolt ons may work out cheaper although you’ll still have to pay for texts and other phone calls.

The most important thing to remember when buying a contract is that it needs to suit your requirements. If you don’t spend much time using a phone but don’t want a pay as you go mobile then an O2 100 min contract may be perfect for you. If you’re a regular user of a mobile phone then 100 minutes probably won’t be enough to get you through the month though and in this case a higher priced contract may be required.
