Following T-Mobile’s MyFaves proposition, O2 has launched similar tariff but for prepay customers: “Your O2 numbers”.

For £5 top up, you get 1000 minutes or texts to your chosen ten O2 numbers (it means that you get 1000 units where one unit equals one text or one minute). Just like T-Mobile, you can change your chosen numbers once a month.

To sign up, text TEN to 21300 and follow the instructions, or call 2425 free from your O2 mobile. To opt out text TEN OFF to 21300, or call 2425. Currently terms and conditions say that you are able to opt in to this service until 31 January 2008.

Eventhough both offers are similar, here are differences:

• T-Mobile’s MyFaves displays images of your nominated 5 people on a handset
• T-Mobile allows you nominate numbers from another network or fixed line, while O2 proposition is only between O2 numbers.
• O2 offer is for prepay and T-Mobile is postpay contract
• O2 charges £5 a month for service, T-Mobile at least £25
