A Guide To O2 Refresh

Anonymous
Not applicable
How does the Refresh plan work?

Your tariff is split into two plans, the first part is your Device Plan.

This is the cost of the device or handset you have chosen, the cost of the phone or tablet will be a set amount each month which will cover the entire cost of your chosen device spread over 24 months. You can then choose to continue paying the device plan every month all the way through the 24 month.

If you want a new handset or device at any point throughout your minimum term then all you have to do to upgrade is to pay off the remainder of the total cost of your handset or device in full then you can choose a new device & a tariff of your choosing then you will start a new 24 month cycle.

If you are new to O2 refresh then you will need a credit check, to make sure there are no issues but if you are upgrading from an existing refresh tariff or you have used speed to refresh then you won't need a new credit check, they will just update your tariff on their systems.

Once you've paid off the device it's yours to do with as you wish & your bill automatically halves which means you will only be paying the airtime plan.

Your second plan is called the Airtime Plan

This is a set amount each month that you pay for a certain allowance of minutes, texts & data. These vary in different amounts according to how much your plan is.

Again if you are a new O2 refresh customer you will need a separate credit check

You cannot downgrade your tariff unless you complete your minimum term or upgrade by paying your device plan off. You can then choose to upgrade or if you wish to walk away. Just pay off your device plan then you are free to go with what you want

So it is not allowed to question a statement for which no current reference/ authority is given? It was left to me to find it in the current terms particularly given the contradictory and wrong information that I was given by o2.

 

I'll give you one example and go away:

This expired on 8th May 2014, it says so in the title and is an archived file!

 

take care

Thanks. I believe this is current & that the date is the confusing part. I have asked the community manager @Toby to look into it & check it out
