Late payment fee

Help and support

If payment is not received by your payment due date, there will be a £7.68 charge to cover our admin costs. This will be added to your next bill.

Your payment due date is 14 days after your bill is produced. We'll send you a text and an email to let you know how much your monthly bill is, and when it needs to be paid.

If we haven’t received payment by the due date, we’ll send you a reminder a couple of days later, and then another message to let you know that a late payment fee will be applied to your next bill.

Tips to avoid a late payment fee

Set up a Direct Debit - paying this way means the full amount you owe will automatically come out of your bank account or credit card on the due date each month, so you don’t need to remember to pay. You can set up a Direct Debit by contacting our customer services team.

Set up a reminder when you get your bill - set up a calendar entry or reminder in your phone so you don’t forget to pay. Remember to factor in how long your payment method takes to go through, so we get your payment on time.

Change your payment due date we can change your payment due date to make it work better for you. Just pop into an O2 store or get in touch to arrange this.

For further support and information if you’re having problems paying your bills, find out more about our payment support options.
