Not only refresh but other discounts that are only available if you buy directly from o2.

No one will get a discount on any top end new launch.

Discounts such as friends and family, open and student discount, when available, are only permitted if the contract is purchased through o2 directly.

I to have noticed that o2 is £100 more expensive than samsung.I used to use refresh,cause it was a cheap an easy wayto get a phone and swap as you feel like.But now refresh is no use really the phones are cheaper elsewhere.You can buy the s7 directly from samsung 0%apr finance over 24 months.Then you would get the vr headset.All you would need to do after is get a sim only deal.What i have been doing now is buy my phone outright,or i use a credit card and do a balance trasnsfer.Cheaper and bertter in the long term.im on a sim only deal and im happy.

That makes sense and you can still pay off the phone in full when you want to

I agree with that @Charlieboyoo. If people can afford to buy unlocked sim free phones outright they should do so. It gives you so much more freedom.
I think O2 missed a trick not selling the S7 with the VR headset. The refresh deal alone is hardly enough to tempt people who desperately want a cheaper deal that also includes the headset

As someone who (borderline) abuses refresh, I always still manage to get handsets lower than the RRP by changing upfront amount or applying a different tariff. With the s7 at its cheapest with O2 it's 80 quid more and lacking a key feature, samsung's vr vision (the headphones wouldn't be used), if I were buying the s7, I probably would look elsewhere if I'm honest.
