You don't have to nor should you.
The phone is faulty so o2 have to replace it with a brand new one, not secondhand, not a refurb.
Call cs on 202 and ask them to arrange a doorstep exchange for you.

If you bought it in store, yes, you have to sign a contract but they should also replace phone with a brand new one on the spot.

Seems they have to treat it as a change of mind. Crazy way of doing things.

I don't believe you should. Who's told you that you have to apply for a new contract?
