Terminating a mobile phone contract

[Anonymous]

Hey Guys!!  

I was just wondering if I terminated my contract would I have to give the mobile phone back to o2? And would it be the cost of my Tariff x Months left? Do I need to pay the 'Bolt Ons' for the remaing months as well??

Many thanks!!

The phone is yours.

Cancel the bolt ons.

Pay the balance by months left X amount per month.

You're welcome.

Ask for a PAC if you're moving to another supplier and want to keep the number.

I want to stay with o2 just need a different phone this phone is rubbish for battery life and being a 20 year old I need a good battery life because of all the time I'm listening to music when I'm out and about, but thank you for that bit of info will keep it in mind in case I find a better deal on a different network

You could buy a new phone sim free and use it to carry on with your contract, then switch to Simplicity when it's finished.

Didn't think about doing that, I'm so blonde at times haha it will be cheaper then paying out the contract as well haha thank you for that, so I could sell the phone I have now and use the money to buy a new one couldn't I?

That would be your cheapest option I would guess...

Yes that's right, O2 don't care what phone you use, the contract belongs to your sim card.

Let us know how you get on and which phone you go for.

Which phone are you looking to replace?
