O2 Telefónica Launches 30-Day Network Money-Back Guarantee Starting Feb. 4

The 30-day pledge allows eligible sign-ups to cancel for refunds of the base and connection fees if the network falls short.

Overview

  • The offer applies to new and existing customers on 24-month plans and to Flex tariffs taken out directly with O2 online, in shops or via the hotline.
  • Customers may cancel within the first 30 days without giving a reason, with refunds covering the paid base fee and the connection charge.
  • Contracts arranged through third-party retailers and combined MyHandy device agreements are excluded, and O2 plans to host cancellation via a dedicated online page in February.
  • O2 cites research indicating network quality outweighs getting a new smartphone for a majority of respondents, encouraging trials where people live, work and commute.
  • The company markets the policy as a first in Germany and points to continued rollout, claiming about 29,000 sites and roughly 99% 5G population coverage.
