Most of us have been there - patting our pockets and searching bags to find our phones aren’t where they should be 📱 Research from O2 has found that nearly 7 in 10 students lose or break personal belongings in their first year of university, amounting to £347 per student on average. When replacing a lost handset, nearly 1 in 3 students go for a refurbished or second-hand device to lessen the cost of replacing their phone - better for the planet and can save up to £200 compared to buying new. O2’s refurbished phone range, Like New, is perfect for those first year university students who may lose their handset. And with at least 40 quality checks carried out on those devices, they meet the same or similar standard of a brand new phone. Read more: https://vmo2.co/3XtDVwB #LikeNew #Students

Working with EkkoSense AI, we’ve optimised our data centres to ensure they operate efficiently, making airflow and cooling improvements which have resulted in securing savings equivalent to 760 tonnes of carbon dioxide. Reducing our energy usage is a key element of our sustainability strategy, Better Connections Plan, where we’re working to achieve net zero carbon emissions across Scopes 1,2 and 3 by the end of 2040.
