Nice, our second roaming post of the day. O2 today announces the launch of O2 Travel, providing customers with a worry free way to use their mobiles throughout Europe this summer. Available from July to all O2 pay monthly customers, including O2 business customers*, the simple new approach offers 25MB of data per day for £1.99. When making voice calls, customers will be charged a one-off 50p per call, with minutes then taken from their existing tariff.
O2 Travel marks the next step in O2’s commitment to help customers banish concerns over their bill when they get home, allowing worry free tweets, Facebook status updates, and calls home from poolside in the sun. It represents the best value international offer from O2 to date, enabling customers to make their holiday as connected as they wish.
O2 Travel was developed using customer insight which highlights the growing demand for mobile use abroad:
. Mobile internet usage whilst on holiday is growing at more than 100% a year
. 60% of customers who use the mobile internet in the UK also use it whilst abroad
. Facebook, Google and BBC News are the most popular websites to vist while on holiday
. France and Spain are the most popular countries for customers calling back to the UK
With 25MB of data per day customers can keep connected to all their favourite sites, making 2012 the first ever social media connected summer holidays. Gone are the days of showing holiday snaps once the tan has faded: now holiday moments can be shared as soon as you hit the beach.
