If I get a contract phone do I start paying for it at the start of the month or when I receive it?

I'm wanting to upgrade my HTC 8X (which is rubbish) to an Iphone 5s but I'm not sure if I'll have to pay for the £44 a month contract today or if they start charging me at the start of next month! Anyone help???

Do you have to pay an upfront cost at all when you upgrade?

For your first O2 bill you are charged for the first couple of days connection, until the billing date, and then one month in advance.

Payment date is always 2 weeks after the billing date.

The first bill which will be for a full month and 2 days will arrive 2 days after starting the contract.
It will be due for payment 14 days later.
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.
