Re: Deposit, the reason you were asked for a deposit is to do with you're credit rating. this is based on you're average yearly spend, credit score and how promptly you pay you're bills. Deposits can be held for up to 12 months. I used to work for o2 and they are b******s to work for, thats why I walked in one morning and told my manager exactly where to stick the job - Really enjoyed it!!!!

I thought i read that O2 were one of the top places to work for in the UK. Anyway im with O2 pay and go for just over a year now. Customer service is good with calls answered most of the time very quick. Never have dropped calls or problems with texts though i do experience alot of problems with internet. Sometimes it wont connect for hours on end in the daytime. But despite this i dont leave cos they provide best value for pre pay. 3G is also pants. Anyway when i used to be on contract i found that some networks will credit check you before you go abroad if you require the service. Just get a sim card for going abroad from CPWH much cheaper with no big bills.

3 months into my contract with Vodafone I asked if they could lift the international block of my account they did this without any hestitation,
I do send a few international messages so I pressume thats probaly why they lifted it for me
they also lifted another block which Vodafone have some Parental Block,
where you cannot browse certain sites, bit odd that one I think,
still might be a good idea for kiddiewinks

Just to make this completely clear, you can't 'blame' O2 for this, the whole deposit thing is unique to each invididual and their credit score/rating.
Clearly the original poster has bad credit, hence the deposit.
And in reflection to this, MissUK has probably got better credit, hence no deposit.

My credit rating is poor but i dont care i dont get anything on credit no more. I no longer have any debts though now i take the attitude if i cant afford it i cant have it. Simple. I save for it. Last time i tried for a contract on O2 couple of years ago they asked me for £150 deposit. I said no and never bothered again and wont again either. Though it was fair enough that O2 wanted a deposit who am i to argue with them.
