iPhone 6s

[Anonymous]

hi, I have a contract on O2 with the iPhone 5s, and it ends in March, is there a way to get the 6s when it comes out without a load of cost?

Gumtree is very hit and miss. I am sure people posting here are honourable but in my area I have known people buy phones....only to find they are locked and IMEI barred. All part of an ongoing insurance scam...

Surely the earnest is on the buyer to do their checks as well. Personally, I don't touch a phone without doing a CheckMend report.

Trouble is they make a false insurance claim a month or two after selling the phone.

You would be surprised at the amount of gullible people who see a cheap phone for sale and think they have a bargain....They don't look for any trouble and are sure they have got a good deal.

In this area people used to try and sell dogs they had stolen. (They are banned from selling animals now)

Gumtree was and still is notorious for all sorts of people looking to make a fast buck.

Of course there are also many genuine sellers...

Same as everywhere I suppose.

Hi, You can ask them if they will waive the costs on your account - bear in mind that they want people to order the new phones and therefore may be willing to do this. I have had the costs waived myself, but I think it does also depend how much is left on your current contract.

It will also be dependent on other factors @Anonymous

How you have managed your previous contract.....whether any payments have been late or missed...how long you have been with O2 etc etc.

I personally have never known O2 waive the existing account cost against a flagship new release...

They are confident there will be heavy demand for this phone. ( I am not so confident)

This is exactly what happened to me, they basically said that they have too many people willing to pay full price therefore they wouldn't even dream of offering me an upgrade deal to the new iPhone.

That is normal on new phone launches.
