Ending an O2 contract workaround - is this right?
I have an 18 month O2 mobile contract which I got as part of a broadband and TV deal with Virgin Media in May 2022. I went into my local O2 shop today to ask about poor network coverage in reasonably local places that I visit from time to time. (Was thinking about moving to EE when my contract ends in November). After answering my coverage questions I was invited to "upgrade" to a new 24month contract at a special £11 a month price for 6 months. When I said that I may well want to leave O2, I was then told that if I came back after the 6 months introductory price, I could "upgrade" again to a 30 day contract and once that had run out, I would be free to go to whatever network I wanted.
Querying this further, I was told that with O2, I can "upgrade" at any time and that a 30 day contract "upgrade" is a way of leaving the network earlier and cheaper than waiting for the end of my 2 year contract / payment fee for early exit.
Does this sound like a plan? Seems too good to be true somehow.

So log all the no signal problems and try that avenue.
Me: Will I be able to upgrade to a 30 day contract when on a 2 year contract and only have started it 6 months ago.
O2 Service Rep: Yes, you can switch to a 30 day rolling contract.
