O2, the renowned UK mobile network now under Virgin Media, is spreading holiday joy by granting millions of customers a complimentary 10GB of extra mobile data this December. This bonus is a generous offer considering the current increase in mobile usage.
Customers eligible for the gift will automatically receive the additional 10GB within the month. Users can easily check their account or the MyO2 app to confirm the bonus allocation.
The bonus data comes with no usage restrictions, allowing customers to freely stream movies, share photos, or engage in video calls using services like FaceTime. O2 emphasizes that this giveaway is a simple gesture for being a part of O2.
This special offer is applicable to all Pay Monthly customers, excluding those already on Unlimited plans or business tariffs. If you are on a standard monthly plan without unlimited data, you can anticipate receiving your festive freebie soon.
Christian Hindennach, the Chief Commercial Officer at Virgin Media O2, expressed, “This season is about connecting with loved ones, and we aim to facilitate that by offering this 10GB data boost. Our customers can now enjoy streaming festive content, gaming, or staying in touch with friends and family virtually. It’s our way of spreading joy and thanking our customers for choosing O2.”
According to O2, the additional data could equate to approximately 20 hours of video calls, 2,000 streamed songs, or roughly four and a half hours of HD content on platforms like Netflix or Disney+.
This complimentary offer follows the recent Connected Nations report by Ofcom, indicating that UK smartphone users consumed 10% more mobile data in 2025 compared to 2024, reaching a staggering 1.2 billion GB each month.
