NHS discount

[Anonymous]

Hi 

I current work for the NHS and wanted to know how does the NHS discount work with upgrades or pay monthly lines? also how do I go about apply for the discount. 

I am due two upgrades in September one is mine and the other is my mothers, it would be good to see how it affects the amount I need to pay. 

Thanks

In summary:
1 - you can only get one code (or use it once)
2 - will only work on refresh contract (ie, direct from o2) and only on airtime portion of bill
3 - some phones will be excluded from the deal for a period of time, which may also influence your decision.

Make sure you take proof of your job ID into a store with you and they can apply it when you upgrade, once you have your code.

The text method does still work but you are better getting it applied instore.
