Upgrading 2 months early

[Anonymous]

Hi,

 I am able to upgrade end of July with the contract that I have got, but I was in an accident yesterday and my phone got damaged badly. Is there anyway of being able to upgrade early?

Not without paying off the rest of your contract unfortunately.

Not unless you pay up the months left on your contract and start a new one

Thanks, 

I thought as much. I think that would be cheaper than what it would cost me to get the phone fixed. I am going to pop into my local store and check it all out. Nightmare!! I liked the phone aswell.. Thanks for the answers.

May I ask what the nature of the accident was?

I take it you have no phone or house insurance that may cover it?

I was knocked flying by a youth on a bike whilst walking along. I had phone in hand as I had just finished talking. Im ok just a few scratches more upset about phone lol sad I know.

and no insurance as Im a student and not much money lol

Alternatively, you might want to think about picking up a very cheap sim free phone from Amazon or eBay and just use that for the remainder of your contract, which isn't much longer.

Sorry to hear that... Not much you can do really, I think Bambino's idea is the best one for you at this moment in time. A cheap £10 phone will see you through temporarily until you can upgrade....

Just a stab in the dark but have you checked MyO2?

some tariffs come with an early upgrade. You may (or may not) get a surprise.
