Be aware if you upgrade at CPW that you are not on a full O2 contract, I've found out that I'm unable to add some bolt on to my contract as it was taken out through CPW such as linking two O2 accounts to share the data plan between them. So be aware you give up something for a cheaper contract.

There are a number of features you don't get so all options need weighing up.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.

The big disadvantage is the inflexibility. You are tied in for two years. With O2 you have Refresh and the option to leave the network at any given time subject to paying off the handset. People's circumstances change over a two year period.
