Hi. I received a text yesterday saying "O2 pay monthly customers only: Upgrade early and receive a free apple ipad. Limited stock - 1st come 1st served. call now on*******"

 

I normally ignore these sort of texts but occasionally O2 will come up with offers that take my fancy.

 

The free ipad caught my eye and I believed that it was O2 who I'm with.

 

I rang the number, guy explained that the company was Onecom and that they work as agents for Vodafone, Orange and O2.

 

On this occasion they were working for Vodafone.

He went and checked if there were any ipad's left and yes they were only 3 left.

 

Long story short, he already had all my details, new when my contract was up and new a great deal actually.

 

They had calculated the amount of money that I would have to pay to O2 to terminate my contract early.

They were even able to connect me to O2 to get my pac code and then resume the call.

 

The deal; They pay the early termination fees for leaving O2, new phone( Nokia 500), new ipad mini, 22 month contract,

some virtual line thing where people can call me for the cost of calling a land line free of charge, keep my number, unlimited calls and text and £36 per month.

 

Has anyone heard of these people or had any dealings with them.

 

We've signed up as it seemed kosher.

 

They answered all the questions and there was no hard sell but,

 

I'm a little nervous as I've not heard of them before.

 

They say that they would be managing the account on behalf of Vodafone.

 

I will just sell the new phone as it's not as good as the one I have so not bothered about that side,

the ipad will be a xmas pressie.

 

There is very little on the internet about this company.

 

Just did some more digging and it seems that they used to be called Premier Telecom

and their a platinum partner of Vodafone. http://www.onecom.co.uk/

Cheers

It does look that way but you can never be too sure these days.

  • 1 year later...

Just realised(1 year later) that the contract is for 36 months and not the 22 months that was agreed and 1 or 2 other issues. Feel a bit foolish as I hadn't done my usual research.

Ofcom banned contracts over 24 months back in 2011 so how onecom/Vodafone are getting away with it I don't know.

 

I've emailed Lee and maybe he'll be able to assist.

 

Be warned peeps.
