<h2>What is O2 Multisave and how does it affect your airtime cost?</h2>

<p>Multisave is O2's discount scheme for customers who hold more than one eligible number on the same account. Each qualifying line gets £3.20 knocked off its monthly airtime plan cost. So instead of paying the standard rate, you pay £12.80 per line per month.</p>

<p>The saving applies per line, so the more numbers you add, the more you save across the account as a whole. O2 allows up to 20 eligible numbers on a single Multisave account, which makes it practical for families or small businesses managing several SIMs under one roof.</p>

<h2>How do you add numbers to O2 Multisave?</h2>

<p>You manage Multisave through O2's Plans and Tariffs section on o2.co.uk. From there you can link eligible numbers to your account and the discount is applied automatically to each one. The My O2 app gives you the same access if you prefer to handle it on your phone.</p>

<p>Each number you add must be eligible under O2's current Multisave terms, so check the scheme details on the O2 site before assuming every line qualifies. The cap of 20 numbers is generous enough for most household or small-team setups.</p>

<h2>Is the Multisave discount worth it?</h2>

<p>At £3.20 saved per line each month, two lines save £6.40 a month, or £76.80 over a year. At the maximum of 20 lines, the saving reaches £64 a month across the account.
