    Yes you're right.

    My mate sorts out mine and SWMBO contracts normally and they are both up for renewal.

    Was toying with the idea of Windows phone or BB Torch. But even with the 30% discount he gets it's still more expensive than the on-line tariffs..

    HOWEVER!! He did say that O2 will be doing the iPhone buy out again this year for the iPhone 5.

    I thought O2 shops were franchises?

    Is O2 having problems?

    3G network is playing up around the UK, shops are due to close. Something seems to be going on with them. But why spend all that money updating their stores to close them.

    Excuse me for being a bit thick, but what do you mean by that last bit?

    My 18 month contract is up on 11th June, so no need to buy out. I just hope they do a white one this year.

    Oh ok, so it refers to people buying out of their existing deal...thought it might be some stockpiling exercise by O2

    Hi yes like those that upgraded from 3 to 4, just pay off £20 for each month... have a feeling SWMBO will want this to happen..

    The high street is rather awash with mobile phone shops all in competition with each other . Natural progression for the numbers to be cut .
