Just pay off your device plan and upgrade

@woody3 

You can still take another contract as long as you pass the credit checks, but obviously you'll need to pay both until you can pay off the old one.

i have never missed a payment with o2 but i did take out loan recently will that mean im less likely to be accepted?

Impossible to tell with O2 @woody3 

You'll just need to apply and see what they say.

@woody3 Have you reported the phone as lost? If not, you need to do so asap: Lost or Stolen O2 Device

Usually not a problem @woody3. If you have been accepted for a loan it proves you have a reasonable credit rating as the loan company accepted your request.  Unless anything has changed, nowadays. I took out a loan to help my son about 7 years ago and have never been refused a new contract with O2.
