Broadband provider O2 has just launched a new range of promotional offers to encourage potential broadband customers to sign up for a broadband and home phone package which is free for the first three months.

As with most of O2’s deals, if you are an existing O2 mobile customer you can unlock even more savings potential, as the Standard broadband bundle, which has inclusive evening and weekend calls to UK landline numbers, is now £17 monthly.

It is estimated that existing O2 mobile customers will save about £50 over the first three months of the free service, whilst non-O2 mobile customers will save even more, although after the initial period the price will be higher if you lack an O2 mobile contract.

O2’s broadband deals have a significant advantage over BT broadband options, because the line rental for O2 home phone customers is £9.50, which is over £2 cheaper than BT offers.

O2’s anytime home phone deal is slightly more expensive, but it does let you make unlimited free calls at any time of the day or night to premium rate numbers beginning in 0845 or 0870.

O2’s Sally Cowdry said that her firm is putting a lot of effort into this new home broadband and phone package in order to cement its position as one of the UK’s best value and most comprehensive providers.

O2 is keen to emphasise the fact that it is attempting to make its pricing as transparent as possible and that combining multiple services into one monthly package is a great way in which to save money.

Simple Broadband’s Communications Manager Simon Gerrard added “O2 is really upping its game in the home broadband market, providing consumers with many compelling reasons to choose carefully when looking to switch broadband providers.”
