I am due an upgrade next month, but ive unfortuantely smashed my iphone 5. I understand o2 pay customers £100 for their old handset. If i owe money on my handset will they take money out of the money for my old handset?

Technically that would be fraud as you're selling something you haven't paid for in full.

I wouldn't attempt it.

Any sum offered by O2 Recycle would depend on condition and whether or not it works, so it's variable.

No you would have to pay off the contract first before you contact O2 recycle

You won't get £100 for a smashed phone.

Sorry to say this but if you went through O2 recycle with a smashed phone, you'd be lucky to even get £10

A quick play on o2 recycle assuming a few answers to the questions they say £10 but that would be conditional to an inspection when they received the phone.
