O2 are offering mobile broadband users in Manchester a free mobile broadband dongle swap.
What O2 want is for mobile broadband users of other networks to bring their USB dongles in to one of the O2 stores across the city and they will be given a free O2 mobile broadband Pay & Go dongle in exchange for their existing one. O2 mobile broadband customers whose contract has expired are also able to trade in their old dongle too.
Users have until 30th July to take part in the mobile broadband “amnesty” and receive their free Pay & Go mobile broadband dongle which gives users the chance to try without commitment what O2 mobile broadband can offer them.
Jonathan Earle, Head of Pay Monthly, said:
“We believe that O2 Mobile Broadband provides the best quality service available but we don’t want to just say it, we want people to try it for themselves. With O2’s mobile broadband amnesty we are giving other mobile broadband users the chance to give us a try without having to commit to a lengthy contract.
O2 mobile broadband users also receive free access to thousands of Wi-Fi hotspots when they have a pay monthly or pay & go deal with O2 (the free wi-fi is only available for the same length of time that the pay as you go is active for).
For anyone who struggles with their mobile broadband connection it could be worth trading in and trying to see if O2 performs any better, however if you are with a mobile broadband provider and you are satisfied with your service and receive good coverage then it may well be a good idea to stay with them unless you know that O2 mobile broadband has coverage where you usually use your mobile broadband.
The current O2 mobile broadband Pay & Go charges are:
- Mobile Broadband Daily (available for 24 hours) – For £2 for 500MB + Unlimited Wi-Fi
- Mobile Broadband Weekly (available for 7 days) – For £7.50 for 1GB + Unlimited Wi-Fi
- Mobile Broadband Monthly (available for 30 days) – For £15 for 3GB + Unlimited Wi-Fi
The participating stores in and around Manchester that the “amnesty” is taking place at are:
Altrincham, Ashton-Under-Lyme, Victoria Plaza Bolton, Bury, Denton, Oldham, Rochdale, St Helens, Warrington, Grand Arcade Wigan, Woodcock Square Wigan, Arndale Centre Manchester, Cross St Manchester, Market Street Manchester, Salford Quays, Northwich, Stockport and two stores in the Trafford Centre
