Hello
I have recently upgraded to the iPhone 14 pro. I’ve had a think and I am better suited to the pro max, so I intend to use switch up to swap from the pro to the pro max once it comes back into stock.
By using O2 Switch Up, will I get credit checked for swapping to a different handset?
If so, is there a way to check I’m eligible for the Pro Max before handing over the 14 Pro? I wouldn’t like to be left with nothing if I somehow (touch wood) fail the credit check.
My credit score has dropped significantly this month which I’m trying to get rectified (fingers crossed it can get sorted) but I worry this will affect my ability to switch phones.
If I could, I would simply return the Pro right now but I’d be without a phone for over a month until pro max stock was available.
Advice is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Switchup involves a new contract, so yes, you are credit checked.
The only way to find out if you will be accepted is to apply and see what the computer says, unfortunately.

I don’t recall getting credit checked when upgrading. I’m thinking of returning the phone and doing the upgrade process again while using a cheapie phone until the pro max can be delivered.
Note to self (and others): don’t give away your old phone straight away after upgrading, you might need it back 😂

You don't get credit checked for upgrades but you do with switch up as it's not an upgrade - it's a new contract.
