O2 coughs up new Ts and Cs to customers

[Miles]

O2 is adding an insert into its next bill to customers to make them aware of recent changes to its terms and conditions. These changes extend the information O2 is allowed to gather and archive to include the location, length, and times of calls.

O2 had previously posted this information on its website, but some punters were incorrectly informed that only new customers would be affected.

To clarify the situation, the insert will be included in the next billing cycle.

I dont think that this should come to a great suprise to anyone. This data has been recorded for ages and the police only need a court order to get hold of it.

As long as you pay your bills I dont think that you should worry...I suspect that the debt collectors only know the location in case you move and they need to try and find you in order to collect payment on the bill.

Dont worry however as the location tracking is not that accurate...yet.
