6 month early upgrade

[Anonymous]

I am at upgrade time and want to go for the following 12 month contract option:

• 12 months

Monthlycost Phonecost Minutes Texts Data Extras  

£69.00	£99.99	Unlimited minutes	Unlimited texts	750MB data	6 months early

Under this contract can someone clarify:

- This means in 6 months time I can upgrade my phone again

- there are no restrictions on what contract or phone I choose under this early upgrade option

I ask because my current phone is pretty much knackered. I want to switch back to iphone but reckon within the next six months the iphone 6 will be released. The above would give me the option of having a working iphone 5 for six months, at which point i would probably then O2 recycle, early upgrade and choose a longer 18/24 month contract.

Anyone know????

Yes it means you can upgrade in 6 months time, but there will be a list of phones to choose from for that tariff. I don't think it's any phone you like......

I guess that is just a special upgrade offer as it is not available on 12 months on the normal website but when I hover over the link it states iphone 5 etc.

If that deal suits you and you can afford it then yes it will do what you want. Then you could look at the new o2 refresh options on a 24 month contract.

I would have said after 6 months you could change to whatever phone/contract that you like the same as any normal contract

Just done some maths and o2 will lose out on the deal if you upgrade after 6 monts based on Payg iphone 5 16gb price o2 lose £36 plus you have all the calls sms and data usage for free plus you can then as you say use o2 recycle and get a good deal back.

And as Daimen has just pointed out no restriction on what you upgrade to based on tariffs and handsets available at the time expect iphone 6 only on 24 months at launch. But It may be available on o2 refresh.

Sounds good to me if you can afford the monthly payments
