Just upgraded under free upgrade plan but now reading through the documentation I see are supposedly offering me my upgrade interest free, great but then you dig into the figures and for the gold iPhone XS Max 512gb Apple cost is £1449 but O2 are going to charge me an additional sum on top of £174.99p!!!! my total repayable is actually £1623.99p!!!

what the heck are they playing at, think its time to cancel the order and give them the big finger! Christ i know we have the Apple tax but it now seems O2 has invented a new one APPLE/O2 tax! This is basically interest charges via the back door! Time to move from O2 after 11 years with O2!

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

I can't get my head round the fact that people would pay that in the run up to Christmas.

I wouldn’t pay that much. That’s why I always go for the previous model or in my case still have a model that was brought out just over 2 years ago

It's not like they hide the figures when you sign up, they even have a button that tells you the handset price.

Some people have more money than sense @jonsie

 

Even if I could afford it, no way would I pay that kind of money for a phone.
