According to reports in The Guardian o2 are working on plans to offer customers some form of goodwill gesture, such as free data or minutes, although the exact nature of what will be offered has not yet been finalised.
Alongside o2’s 25 million customers the outage also affected around 7 million customers of services that use o2 including Tesco Mobile, Sky Mobile and Lycamobile. It will be up to those individual providers to decide if they will make any kind of similar offer to their customers.
