I cannot believe O2 have still not released the full iPhone X plan prices, also to see the costs Sky Mobile are quoting compared to the high prices O2 are showing as a guide considering they use the O2 network. I am really considering just paying off my remaining 10 months, selling my iPhone 7 & switching to Sky & it seems this will still work out cheaper in the long run which is wrong!! 😡😡

I dont think prices for the 8 were available until it went on sale. Considering the scramble to order tomorrow morning there is going to need to be some very fast decision making I think.

Just tried calling O2 again to find out iphone X pricing being an existing customer, and still none available! Most other providers are able to provide pricing.

Sky have offered £52 per month with 5gb data, unlimited calls and texts. This is with a 24 month renewal not 12 months.  You can also piggyback your data for up to 3 years, can change your tariff monthly and pay off phone at any time. When pushed they also offered an existing customer 25% discount on the line rental if I proceed with them tomorrow. I have worked this out at now being £48.25 monthly

If I pay off the remainder of my contract will pre ordering the X tomorrow count as an upgrade?

Will the Iphone X be unlockable and can you give a timeframe if not allowed at first?

[PhoneChanger]

It is unlikely to be unlocked by O2 until stocks become widely available as initially they prefer to sell to customers who will stay with the network. Sadly no one will be able to give you a timeframe yet, it will depend on stocks from Apple

I would also look into 3rd party purchase such as CPW etc as they may sell the x unlocked but I would research first as have been unable to get a straight answer from thwm on this.

I popped into my local store and queried about the refresh programme and she said I can go in tomorrow(Friday) pay a £50 deposit for the pre-order and then come launch day, should have a phone and can then select a tariff then.
This sound right?

[BigNick]

Yes it will

[AngryWarlock]

O2 prioritise web and phone orders over stock for shops on launch day. I wouldnt trust a shop order, based on past experience - Whatever they say.
