3 perks of being an O2 Pay As You Go customer

Prefer Pay As You Go to a long-term contract? Discover the benefits you can get with O2, and find out more about our all-new Rolling Plans.

Everything feels a bit more expensive nowadays, from your morning coffee to your weekly shop. In the middle of a cost-of-living crisis, being tied to a phone contract might not be the best option for you. That’s why O2 Pay As You Go gives you a flexible way to pay for your phone, as well as offering bonus deals, discounts and even the occasional freebie.

With an O2 Pay As You Go sim card, you can tailor data to suit your lifestyle and customise the cost to match your budget. Change or cancel anytime – there's no credit check and no commitment. Plus, it's all contract-free. That means you have freedom over your phone use and total control over how much you spend, which is more important now than ever before.

But those aren’t the only benefits. There are also plenty of perks to being an O2 Pay As You Go or Rolling Plan customer – from O2 Rewards to International Minutes. Let’s dive into them.

O2 Rewards

Open to everyone with an O2 Pay As You Go or Rolling Plan sim, O2 Rewards is one of the ways we say thank you to our customers. Every three months we add up all your top-ups, and give you up to 10% back. You can claim your reward as extra airtime credit, or use them to get money off all tickets to must-see gigs, a new mobile or high street vouchers. Claim your O2 Rewards by signing into the Priority app for free on your smartphone, or the Priority website using your mobile number.

International Minutes

Going on holiday? Good news. We cover roaming in our Europe Zone as part of our Pay As You Go tariffs. So, if you buy one of our Big Bundles or Rolling Plans, your minutes, texts and data can be used in the UK and in our Europe Zone at no extra cost. International Minutes is only applicable to £15, £20 and £30 Big Bundle and Rolling Plan tariffs, so find out more about roaming in Europe before you travel.

Get more flexibility with a Rolling Plan

We’ve launched our new Rolling Plan, giving you the flexibility of Pay As You Go, alongside benefits like full access to O2 Priority, international data and minutes. You can just set up a direct debit, saving you time on the top-up process (and you can then use that time to check out the brilliant offers in Priority). Your unused data and minutes will automatically roll over every month – with no minimum period. All this, without a contract. Find out more about our contract-free, sim-only Rolling Plans.
