Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask, but will I be able to use Switch Up at point of pre ordering? My wife has a 15 Pro and been debating changing it, her phone is on my O2 account with the rest of the family and she has Switch Up available. Her birthday next week so it's good timing (if you can use switch up on pre orders)

 

Follow up question, if this is possible, will she receive any SMS comms to her number about the process if I do it? I am assuming probably yes

@paddyposh89 

 

I would recommend doing it all in store, as that way you save a whole world of pain and suffering many have suffered doing it online. 

You can pre-order in store, and then day of release take it in, all done and sorted and new phone.. 

Also an excuse to take the wife for a birthday coffee / tea hence more brownie points. 

I did this last year for my wife and was a lot easier... slight_smile

Thanks @madasaf1sh good idea. Annoyingly, we are travelling on Friday so I can't go into store to pre order. So would need to do it online, but the switch up part we can do in store. Is that possible? To start the switch up process online and choose to do the actual swap & collection in our local store?

Unfortunately @paddyposh89  the whole process has to be done in store, so you cant do any part of it online if going down the store route.. 

 

You can always pre-order it for collection a day or so later slight_smile 


I just wouldn't trust pre-orders from o2 ordered online for delivery on release day slight_smile
