Q. Why should I stay with or join O2?
A. With the new iPhones, plus all our device range on Pay Monthly, we put you in control so that you can design a plan to suit your needs. Here’s some top reasons ‘Why O2?’:
- Choose how much to pay upfront (down to £0 if you’re upgrading)
- Spread the balance for up to 36 months to keep the cost down – or choose as little as three months if you want to pay it off quicker
- Pick your data allowance to finish building your customised plan. You can even change it up and down every month if that’s your style.
- From pre-order, we’ll have a range of promotional tariffs to give you even more for your money.
- And don’t forget, with O2 you also get MyO2, O2 Priority, 48-hour access to the hottest gig tickets before general sale, and more freedom in how/where to buy, and how to get in touch with us should you need to
Upgrade Info
Q. Will you have enough stock for everyone who wants the new iPhone?
A. We expect there to be high demand for the new iPhones and recommend customers pre-order as soon as possible once pre-orders go live to avoid disappointment
Q. I'm wanting to upgrade but want to know all my available options
A. As upgrades are very much account specific and the details can vary from person to person, we'd recommend checking your My O2 app for upgrade options. You can also get in touch with our upgrade team to discuss – just call 202 and select the appropriate options from our IVR menu.
Q. What if I want to upgrade earlier than my yearly upgrade date?
A. This is possible thanks to the power of Custom Plans on O2. With Custom Plans, you can upgrade at any time by simply paying off the remainder of your device plan agreement. You can off-set much or all of this cost by using O2 Recycle to trade-in your existing device.
Q. Are you offering a Yearly Upgrade Programme on your tariffs?
A. With O2 Custom Plans, we’re giving our customers true flexibility to be able to choose the length of tariff they want, from 3 to 36 months, and choose the data they need. And you can upgrade at any time – even if you’re only 1 month into a 36 month tariff – just by paying off your device plan.
Pre-order / Availability / Order Info
Q. Can I select Premium delivery for my new iPhone during pre-order?
A. No, premium delivery options will not be available from pre-order for Consumer or Business.
Q. I pre-ordered at *date/time*, when will I get my new iPhone?
A. Throughout your pre-order journey we display an expected delivery date. You can see this on the product shop page under the iPhone colour selection drop-down, above the 'Go to basket' button during our custom plans slider selections, and at the final basket/checkout screen. After ordering, we’ll keep you updated on your order as and when there’s progress.
Q. How do I stay up to date on my order?
A. You can keep an eye on your My O2 order status, and we’ll also keep you updated as and when there’s progress with your order.
Business Queries/Tariffs
Q. What is Double Data and Half Price insurance proposition?
A. Small and Medium Business customers who take our 18GB, 36GB, or 60GB will have their data allowance doubled. So this will means 36GB for the price of 18GB, 72GB for the price of 36GB and 120GB for the price of 60GB. Giving our Business customers all the data they need to do business as they need to.
Our Soho / Small Business customers will also have the option to purchase accidental damage insurance cover for £4.50, which is half price. This is available on the double data tariffs of 36GB, 72GB, and 120GB.
Both elements of the proposition will be in place for the length of the contract or until the customer wants to upgrade.

Q. How does the UK to EU calling work?
A. Calling Europe is as easy as making a call within the UK as we’ve included both minutes and texts in handset and SIMO tariffs (available on handsets 6GB and above and SIMO on the 10GB, 20GB and 30GB). With ‘Roam Like at Home’ when travelling in Europe and with the new inclusion of UK to EU minutes and texts when doing business from home, you can now work flexibly without concerns about costs, as you grow your businesses internationally. More info here.
Device & Other Questions
Q. Will I be able to unlock the iPhones?
A. Great news! Most of our devices now arrive unlocked – including these new iPhones - but if you receive a device that is locked, you can unlock this free of charge. More info here.
Q. Will it have 4G / Wifi Calling?
A. The new iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro & iPhone 11 Pro Max will all launch with 4G and Wifi Calling enabled
Q. Are the new iPhones 5G ready?
A. No, the new iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max are not 5G ready
Q. Once you launch eSIM, can I use an O2 eSIM and a *other network* physical SIM, or vice versa?
A. Absolutely. Once eSIM launches, you're free to mix and match how you'd like. Want to have an O2 eSIM and be able to use a 'local network' physical SIM when you go on holiday or business trips abroad? Easy. Want to use another networks' eSIM but use a physical O2 one? Done. Or vice versa? Yep, you can do that too.
Q. What iPhone's will Apple Watch Series 5 be compatible with?
A. New purchases of an Apple Watch Series 3 or Series 5 with Cellular on O2 will now only work with an iPhone 6s or newer (including the iPhone SE). This is because watchOS6, Apple’s new software for Apple Watch coming 19 September, only supports iOS13 and above. iOS13 is only available on iPhone 6s devices and newer, and not on iPhone 6, 6 Plus, or older.
Q. But my Apple Watch Series 3 & 4 works with iPhone 6 and 6 Plus?
A. When we launched Apple Watch Series 3 & 4 with Cellular in June, these devices could pair with an iPhone 6 or newer. Customers that have already purchased an Apple Watch Cellular (Series 3 or 4) from O2 between June & September who have an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus will still be able to use cellular on O2 on their Apple Watch. However, these customers will not be able to download watchOS6 as it's only available for devices running iOS 13 - which won't include iPhone 6 or 6 Plus.

Hi I assume upgrade customers are eligible to pre order on Friday?
Hi @Benlfc - providing you're on an O2 Refresh or O2 Custom Plan tariff, then you can upgrade at any time simply by paying off the remainder of your device plan. You can check the My O2 app to see how much you have left on your device plan.
Hope that answers your Q, but let me know if it doesn't
