2 week earlier upgrade?

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am eligible for an early upgrade in 2 weeks and I'd like to upgrade to the iPhone 5 and go on the new Refresh contract. If I go into the store tomorrow and beg to upgrade what is the likelihood of them letting me? Or is 2 weeks still too early and they'll chase me out of the shop?

Ideally you need to hang on the last 2 weeks. The iPhone 5 will not be compatible with O2's 4G network either in the summer, so you might want to reconsider or wait for the next iPhone which is due soon that will be 4G compatible.

Thank you. I'm really impatient and love phone upgrades!

Sorry if this is a daft question but if I choose to wait and keep my current phone can I upgrade whenever I want?

Yes, once you have completed the minimum contract terms you will go onto a rolling 30 day contract during which time you can upgrade whenever you like.....

Hi Luffoo.

O2 retail have no control over bringing your upgrade date forward, they simply do not have the option.

Customer services (most likely retention's) may be able to offer an alternative however.

I do echo MI5's sentiments on holding off however due to both 4G and rumors of a 5S / 6 at the end of the summer.
