From O's website:

Pay As You Go customers

Talk Now will cost you 20p for each 30 minute session or part of it.
However, you will never be charged more than £1 a day on Talk Now in
the UK. Once you've used up 5 sessions, the rest are free for the day!

If you are a new user to Talk Now you can get the first three months
free, just ask for the Talk Now bundle when you call 450 to get Talk
Now set up.

Pay Monthly customers

When you use Talk Now to talk to one other person it costs 15p a
minute. When you talk to between two and nine others it costs 30p per
minute.

Indeed, seems to be going this way, decent retention offers seem few
and far between.
