O2 has 4G coverage for over 70% of the UK population, so you’re likely to be able to get a speedy data connection in most places. It’s also made a commitment to reach at least 98% indoor 4G coverage by the end of 2017, so you can expect coverage to increase rapidly.
O2 gives you free access to over 7000 Wi-Fi hotspots across the UK, and when there’s no signal you can use the Tu Go app to text and call over Wi-Fi.
Plus, with O2 Priority you’ll get access to deals and offers, along with early gig ticket sales.

O2 allows you to tether on Pay Monthly and SIM-only contracts and you can use as much of your data as you want towards this.
