O2 has told some customers leaving the firm that they'll be charged £100s to cancel their contracts, while others have been asked to repay handset costs in full upfront. But this is WRONG.

    I didnt even ring o2 to tell them what i was doing. Logged in yesterday and they have credited my bill and raised the usual bill with just the handset on it.

    So experiences have clearly differed wildly.
