March 26, 2020: O2 has today announced a zero rating on more than 20 additional support and advice websites to help its customers access the support they need, worry free, during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.
- More than 20 websites zero-rated on O2 in addition to NHS websites
- From today, O2 customers won’t use any of their network data when they browse a range of financial, health and emotional support and advice sites on their O2-enabled devices
- Additional zero-rated sites include Citizens Advice, Money Advice Service and Mind
Customers who are on O2 won’t use any of their allocated monthly data allowance when browsing a whole host of support, advice and charity sites on their mobile.
As well as the NHS, which O2 announced it was zero-rating last week, O2 customers can also browse 22 additional support and advice networks, including Citizens Advice and Mind.
