Under 14 day swap for a preorder phone?

[Anonymous]

Hi I have had this new contract for about 4 days now. It's an lg g4 and the battery life is terrible. I've called lg and they have gone through various options but it's not rectified it. I know you can swap for a different phone once under 14 days but the only 2 phones I would want to change to are the s6 edge plus 64th (which doesn't show on your website) or the new iPhone 6s plus (which isn't available to pre-order until the 12th in led to believe and won't be available until the 25th. Am I allowed to swap to the 6s plus and just pre-order it and then just use my aim in my spare phone?

Cancel the contract & return the phone as you are under the 14 days then pre order the iPhone 6S, if you wish to keep your number then get a sim from the O2 shop

But that will mean another credit check when I preorder the 6s

Most likely yes as it will be a new contract not an upgrade

Well either see what your options are or get a cheaper phone like the iPhone 6 or a Samsung

Just cancel and drop to a 30 day simplicity tariff. You can upgrade from that with no credit check later.
