why is 02 upgrades so expensive!!!!

@AnonymousProbably because they offer Refresh deals and O2 Open. You are, of course. free to take your business to CPW or any other outlet.... though you wont get the benefits listed above...

Nor will you get WiFi calling unless you buy from o2 but you pay your money and take your choice.

I wouldnt exactly call o2 "refresh" a benefit and o2 open isnt exactly a benefit unless your part of a company that is registered for it. we went to cpw through one of their spin off companies and got a better deal on our handsets compared to o2 refresh and despite of whats wrote above we have wifi calling as well.

The S8 is the only Android device you'll get wifi calling on a non o2 device currently, (I guess iPhones work?) so if you got that phone you'll be OK as long you're happy with the phone for 2 years.

@Lew_Taylor  despite what you say, those with Refresh do consider it a benefit as you can change your device after a year with no additional charges. Also O2 Open is a bonus enjoyed by many.  However everyone is free to make their own choices.....best of luck with yours

I always say go with the deal you are comfortable with and that it meets your needs and your wallet 😉

yeah your right m15, an iphone 7, 7 plus and 8 plus. they all come from cpw et al and are all sim free as when we went abroad we put a local sim card in to avoid heavy roaming charges and it worked with no problems.so out of curiosity then we have had our contracts for nearly a year but had someone from o2 ring us who were full of beans (number checked) they were offering an upgrade to the iphone-x which wasnt cheap but wasnt expensive depending on if you shop around, when queried about my current phone iphone 7 plus what would happen to it if i upgraded they told me that they could send a payg sim card out with the new phone and contract and i could give the i phone 7 to a family member to use.i politely declined there offer of an upgrade as im happy with my phone but still annoyed with the tugo saga and for time being leaving my options open.
