Month 4, Year 2024.
The months are passing by incredibly fast. Check out the latest and greatest from Virgin Media O2 in April 2024 👇
Stirling SRN: We delivered new 4G masts to the remote village of Killin, near Stirling via helicopter as part of our wider commitment to the Shared Rural Network. The upgrades are designed to provide businesses, residents and visitors to the area with enhanced and more reliable connectivity than ever before.
ITV Studio Sessions: O2 proudly teamed up with ITV to bring you a brand-new music show – ITV Studio Sessions, with Priority from O2. Hosted by Clara Amfo, the show will champion top UK music talent – and the first episode is airing tonight on ITV! Here’s an exclusive look behind the scenes with our brilliant crew at the O2 Blueroom.
Priority: With exclusive gigs, pre-sale access and daily treats – O2 Priority is back with a new campaign ‘Only O2’ to celebrate all things Priority and spotlights the very best of what our customers can exclusively access.
Q1 Movers Index: Virgin Media O2 Business released their latest Movers Index, which reported on commuting numbers, staycations over the upcoming bank holidays and the return of Gen-Z to the office. The report uses anonymised and aggregated mobile data from O2 Motion coupled with polling.
Starlink technology: We’re using technology which is quite literally, out of this world, with Starlink’s Low Earth satellite technology. This tech aims to boost mobile connectivity in some of the UK’s most remote locations and ladders back to our commitment to the Shared Rural Network.
Smartphone Swindle: We urged customers to Split, Switch, Save and Share as annual price hikes hit bills for millions across the UK, as O2 continue to proudly offer split contracts to ensure that you never overpay for a phone that you already own.
This month, our shareholders, Telefónica, have marked an incredible milestone - celebrating 100 years in business.
In case you missed it, our CEO, Lutz Schüler, spoke with Total Telecom, reflecting on Telefónica's monumental impact on connectivity 6through a century of innovation and progress.
Professional boxer and former O2 Assistant Store Leader Shannon Ryan visited our O2 Store in Watford to learn more about the National Databank and the work that we’re doing with Good Things Foundation in order to eradicate data poverty across the UK.
O2-owned stores across the UK are becoming Databank hubs, where those in need of connectivity can get a free, 25GB O2 sim.
