Changing contracts and device but still with 02

[GazMakaveli]

Hi,

I think my current contract with 02 expires in August, and I've seen a deal for a new iPhone SE with 02 on affordablemobiles.co.uk. 

I've settled my device plan - would I still be charged for leaving the contract early?

Cheers,

Gareth.

No, once the device plan is paid you are free to upgrade anywhere you like Guide: How does O2 Refresh work?

I'm unsure whether I'm on 02 Refresh though? I purchased the plan and device at least a couple of years ago with Carphone Warehouse.

No it won't be refresh then, but if over 2 years you will have reached the minimum term so still free to leave or upgrade wherever.

If not yet 2 years, you will have to pay upto the end of the 2 year period.

If you text INFO to 85075 the service will text you back with any fees owing.

Just done that, estimate is I'll be charged nearly £100. Best wait until August.

Thank you for your help.

I guess that's 3 more payments then @GazMakaveli ?

Yes I think you're right @MI5. Hoping the deal I've found is as good/better in August.

You can always weigh up the savings by switching now compared to the termination fees.

It might still work out cheaper @GazMakaveli
