iPhone Contract Upgrade

jamesfinch

Hi guys,

Looking for some advice...

I lost my iPhone and have been given cash rather than a replacement by the insurance company. I've been under contract now for 13 months so with it expiring in 5 I don't really want to pay out £350 for a phone I can then get for free.

What is my best option?

I suppose worst case is that I take another contract, get the new iPhone and have to pay for two contracts for 5 months...but that's obviously not ideal.

Should I call 02? Would they be willing to sign me up for an additional 18 months at this stage in my contract?

Cheers,
James

custardy

you could call 02 and see what they offer, or how much to end the contract early
perhaps if its too much buy a cheap 2nd hand phone ot cover those 5 months use?

Use the money you got from the insurance company to pay up your existing contract, and then start a new contract with a new phone. You shouldn't be out of pocket.
