Its my understanding that you can upgrade after 12 months unless they have changed this in the terms and conditions lately.

I was in the local o2 shop this weekend, checking when the 12 months date since my last handset was - and the guy before me doing the same was told he had to wait a while, as he had an 18 month contract - so couldn't change handsets until the end of that 18 month contract.

It seems logical that this would apply to everyone - as otherwise you in theory could get 2 handsets inside an 18 month contract (1 at start, 1 at 12 months, and then still be able to change contract at 18 months - with perhaps yet another handset). And after all, the contracts are longer to make more money out of you per change, not less.

So basically - new handset & new contract are tied together.

Just phoned to upgrade my phone - last year i was on 12 months, 500 mins 500 texts for £20 a month. I wanted a new phone ideally but the best offer they gave me was to have the same contract (500 mins / 500 texts) with £100 bill credit but no new phone. This is for 12 months so my monthly bill is now £11.66 a month. Not bad really!!

£35 per month with O2 would give you:

600 Anytime X Net Mins
1000 Texts
Free Calls or Texts Sat/Sun/Mon or Free Unlimited O2-O2 Calls

They would also apply a 20% loyalty discount to the price if you were speaking to Retentions, so £28.00 per month

How can I get this?? I was told by the person in retentions this was £40/month for 18 month and £35 for 24 month contract?!

Called today (contract's up at the end of the month) and was offered:

Without new handset
Me: 250/100 for £30 pm - £100 + £75 credit on account = £15.32 pm
Wife: 200/400 for £20 pm + £75 credit on account = £13.75 pm

With handsets we wanted
Me: Samsung D900i - 250/100 for £30 pm - 20% = £24.00 pm
Wife: Samsung U600 - 200/400 for £30 pm - £30 (£10 x 3 months) = £27.50 pm

We are both currently on a 250/100 deal with 100% cashback via Mobileshop (all received so far) so I can't say I'm that impressed with what was offered this time around...

My monthly bills had been coming in at around £50 with a tariff of about £30.

I have already signed another contract but I was offered a deal to "keep the line active" of £30 for the WHOLE YEAR, without cashbacks, if I kept my old LG Chocolate. With this I got 250 Xnet minutes and 50 free texts per month.

Not bad at all for a spare...

Yesterday, I was told N73 ME will be offered to me, but when I called up today they are telling me they can only offer N73 and they never heard of N73 ME. Does anyone know if O2 offers N73 ME?.

nokia n73 ME is the Music Edition which comes in black color but this ph is not there in o2
