How to get your NHS O2 discount:
How to calculate your O2 NHS Discount:
We need to give credit to O2 who are offering 25% Discount to NHS staff as it IS a good offer and lots of NHS staff have benefitted from the online deal. The discount you receive is off your monthly Airtime Plan, but do you know how much your airtime plan is? How do you work it out? Below we will try to explain the workings and hopefully make it easier to understand.
So your looking for a new phone? It may be the iPhone 12 and you trying to find the best deal, so you think O2 is a good match and you know that they offer 25% Discount.
For this example we have chosen the iPhone 12:
- iPhone 12
- 90GB of Data per month
- 24 Month Contract
- Upfront Fee of £30
Once you have decided what phone and contract you want, you now need to calculate how much your airtime plan is per month. This a simple process these days as O2 now tell you how much your Airtime plan is just below the contract details. A few years ago, they made it more difficult and you had to dig a lot deeper to workout your airtime plan.
So now look at the image below and check out the top arrow. That is pointing at the Airtime plan for the iPhone 12, as mentioned above. The discount that NHS Staff will get is 25% Off this Airtime plan.
Therefore looking at the below example, our Airtime plan is £25 a month. Now just work out what your monthly discount will be, so 25% of £25 is £6.25. Now we can work out what the total monthly bill will be with our 25% Discount on the Airtime plan.
So if you purchased this iPhone 12 then you can clearly see that your monthly bill would be £40.12. This method can be applied to any of the contract phones, except for the list of excluded brand new iPhones, which are not covered by the discount.

I am an NHS worker already on a O2 phone and sim plan. Do these offers only apply to new customers. What about existing NHS customers?
Hi there. For the discount to be applied it has to be within 28 days of buying the contract. The way to do this is create an O2 open account and use our discount code above.
If it is over the 28 days I would contact O2 direct and speak to customer services.
