Upgraded yesterday a Samsung galaxy s8 plus yesterday by phoning o2.I was offered a really good deal.or so I thought.collected it at a local store and everything was fine.Or so I thought.I never got any info about the contract,so I called o2 customer services.i asked why is the deal not a refresh and they said they offer other deals.i was surprised cause I thought o2 only do refresh.I know I'm partly to Blaine cause I should of realised or mentioned.Went back to the store and I returned the phone.the store told me that it would take 7 days to return.So I was pretty annoyed and I contacted o2.they said no you have been given the wrong information.its 24 hours.I waited and now I've been told by another agent when I called that they can't match the deal I got,I should have never been offered it and O2 only do refresh deals.plus they want more money for the upfront payment for the phone.Was also told that I would have to wait another few days before I can upgrade.Everyone I speak to is giving me different info.im totally annoyed and I'm thinking of going elsewhere cause it's like Russian roulette who I get put through to.

@Charlieboyoo O2 only do Refresh tariffs directly. Did you take out the contract initially at CPW or another independent? The wait to upgrade Is usually 24-48 hours after the phone has been scanned in & cancelled

You might want to think about making a complaint. There is no excuse for offering a deal then being told you shouldn't have been offered it. The wait though is normal as it can take a week before the return is scanned back into stock.

Well that's a mess. Who was it you spoke to that offered you the deal?
