My god those are stingy tariffs! :eek::( Where's the unlimited data option?

Very stingy…
Compared to the UK:
Minutes Texts
£35 (€46) 600 500
£45 (€60) 1200 500
£75 (€99) 3000 500
Plus: Unlimited Data (Email/Web) & Wi-Fi (O2 Hotspots)

Which is probably why they're selling much better in the US than in Europe so far.
