Can you buy OnePlus 3 on Pay as you go?

[Anonymous]

Looking to buy OnePlus 3 outright but it seems my only options are through O2 or shipped from China

I'm currently on a £16 p/m SIM-free contract with O2 (1GB 4G, Unlimited texts, 1000 mins)

The nearest tarriff offered with the OnePlus 3 is £18 p/m (1GB 4G, Unlimited texts, Unlimited mins)

My question is - can I buy the OnePlus 3 directly through O2 without contract and then continue to use my current O2 contract?

You should be able to @Anonymous as the phone is available to buy outright as stated here

http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Welcome-News/OnePlus-3-Only-on-O2/m-p/1006186/highlight/true#M18030

However it's also available to buy directly from OnePlus. Check the price difference..

Originally it was available on PAYG and then they realised everyone was buying it and using it on other networks (/it's not locked) so they stopped it and made it refresh only.

Probably why it can't be seen on the website then? Pity that info wasn't updated...:smileywink:

Either way...best to go directly to One Plus and buy it outright from there...

or buy on refresh and pay it off immediately.

That would always be my choice.
