O2 bundles six months of ChatGPT Plus for new customers starting Nov 5
German carrier O2 (Telefónica) is expanding its cooperation with OpenAI: from November 5, new contract customers will receive six months of ChatGPT Plus access for free when they sign up. Telefónica says this makes O2 the first German network operator to integrate the AI service directly into a mobile offering.
The promotion applies to new customers who activate qualifying contracts from the start date. While Telefónica highlights the novelty of bundling ChatGPT Plus with mobile plans, customers should review the exact terms and eligible plans on O2’s website — offers like this can be limited by plan type, region or other conditions.
What to watch
- Start date: Nov 5 — check activation deadlines and whether the free six months are automatic or require redemption in the O2 app.
- Eligibility: likely limited to new contract customers; confirm which tariffs qualify and whether the promotion is available for business or prepaid plans.
- Post‑trial: after six months you may need to pay the regular ChatGPT Plus fee if you wish to continue — verify cancellation or opt‑out procedures.
Why it matters
Bundling a paid AI service like ChatGPT Plus with mobile contracts signals how carriers are trying to add value and differentiate offerings as AI becomes a mainstream consumer feature. For some customers, integrated AI access could justify switching providers; for others the long‑term cost and actual utility will be deciding factors.
