I want to upgrade to a SIM only deal. I want to buy a new handset - Pixel 8a - can I buy it outright upfront from 02 or do I have to buy it elsewhere and then go for the SIM only deal. You only seem to offer a device payment plan but I don't want that.

@Tim16 

You can buy a new Pixel anywhere outright. Go for the best deal for the phone.

If you want a sim only deal for O2 the best place to try is USWITCH.

Use USwitch

https://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/compare/sim_only_deals/o2/

 

Choose the deal you want

This will automatically redirect you to the O2 website

Just follow the prompts and choose the UPGRADE option

Complete the deal and nothing on your account changes except the tariff at the new cheaper cost

Payment date is the same and your next bill will be at the cheaper rate and will be made up of the pro rata cost of your old tariff and your new tariff

The change should show in My O2 within 24 hours

Volt benefits will still apply as will possibly a 3 month extra such as Disney+

You will need to buy the phone elsewhere you could then take advantage of one of the cheaper SIM only deals through the likes of switch 

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.
