    ~£20 contract with a few mins and ~300 txts?

    Been looking around for a tariff with some mins (Preferably anytime and network) and 250+ txts a month. O2 online fits the bill so i ordered my k750i from them and the date until they get new stock just keeps going back.

    Fed up with O2 online now so what can i get elsewhere?

    Many Thanks
    Ben

    If you read the forum there is a post that the K750i has been withdrawn from sale - not O2s problem but Sony Ericson's. I'm sure that they can provide you an alternative 'phone quickly.

    Well, yea but the other networks are still selling it....right?

    Well, thats what i understood anyway.

    The K750i really is the only phone i want, if i need to i'll just wait another week and a half and get a bit more out of O2 for the wait

    why do you want a bug-ridden phone? either wait for SE to sort out the problems with the K750i, or simply get a different phone and stick with o2.. I'm on the online 50, 50 x-net mins and 500 texts, £19pm, does me fine

    Ben the problem is sonys fault not o2's. the first batch of k750i's we got for testing worked flawless how ever the next lot that went to the customers have proved rather flawed......

    While i underdstand this is frustrating it's out of o2's hands.
    We need to make sure the handsets do not have the same bugs has before.
    the date i have is either the 27th june or the 4th july.

    So you mean they could be in on the 27th?

    I'm guessing you work for O2, someone on another forum said he phonned o2 earlier and they said 4th July

    Its not a huge wait, week and a half....getting used to the waits now!

    Some other forum members (who have close connections with O2) are reporting that they are now back in stock.

    For your info Ben, here is what has happened -

    SE Release the K750i. It's full of bugs. People on ALL networks (worldwide) report the bugs. SE quickly release an update on thier SEUS site for owners to update thier K750i. But SE don't consult O2 properly other the changes to the firmware. The update stops the GPRS working on O2's network. SE realise thier misstake but it's too late. The update is pulled from the SEUS site and O2 are forced to recall all K750i. Meanwhile, all the other networks continue to sell the older bug ridden K750i's.

    Personaly, i think O2 have gone about the problems the best way. All the other networks have continued to sell the bug ridden K750i's and not bothered to do anything about it. That said, O2 were forced into it by SE's misstake with the firmware.

    It's worth the wait, especially if you get a new bug free K750i. They are by far the best non-smart phone on the market.

    As for tariffs, I am on O2 Online 200, which is £30 a month. However O2 have done a deal with me where I only pay £20 a month for it and get 300 mins. My girlfreind is on O2 250, which is £30 a month. But has also done a deal with O2 and only pays HALF her line rental (£15). We both got free K750i's AND bluetooth headsets.

    Thanks for that Dom, appreciate it.

    I've also been told by someone else that they have stock

    I've now had 2 orders with O2 for the phone that have both been cancelled, the phone was £49.99 each time and O2 took that money both times and didnt refund it. I sent an email to them last night and haven't heard anything as of yet. Hopeing that they might do a discount for me.

    Thanks dom!
    Ben

    O2 Online? Phone 'em mate. Trying to deal with any problems via the website, especially re billing, is a nightmare at best. Phone them on 08706003009. Only national rate now, up until a couple of months ago it wa 50p a min :\
