o2 price hike termination- no separate device plan
Looking for a bit of clarification with my o2 deal.
I bought a new phone and contract plan around August through Samsung, where I paid an initial sum to Samsung for the device followed by a 24 month contract with o2 for the remainder of the device and the airtime plan.
With the recent comms on price increases, I have been looking at how that contract is set up, and I think I can exit with no termination fees and no outstanding device payments required.
I dont have any ongoing financial relationship with Samsung. No payments go directly to them and no agreement for payment has been set up directly with them (other than a credit card transaction for the original part payment).
The o2 contract I took out was only listed as an "airtime" plan with a single line item - there is no mention of the device, and no separate cost listed as a device payment. The airtime line is described as "2025 Standard Plan Handset IND0S6 Airtime"
My o2 account lists this in the same way - just an Airtime plan - no mention of any device or separate payments against a device plan.
Based on this and the rules in place, I think I can terminate and not pay another penny to o2, and get a cheaper SIM only deal elsewhere.
Does that sound right?
