Online, yes that's correct, however instore can bypass that as long as you take id like a passport etc.
If you phone customer services on 0344 8090202 and select upgrades, they may be able to help you further.
Of course if you have another phone of any type you can pop your sim in to receive the text (with help via a sim card adapter)

I would agree and advise to pop into your most local O2 store.

You would need to be ready for a possible wait for the iPhone models too as they are still in limited supply.

Excellent response slight_smile

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Currently using:
Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)
