Select one of the plans that you pay something upfront, like the 1GB deal for £31/month, £79.99 upfront.
The payable price of the device £13 x 24 = £312 + £79.99 = £391.99.
Of course, as most of you are probably aware by now, you can just pay off the device and cancel the remaining airtime contract.
Cheapest I've seen this available for, forgive me if I've missed something.
£31/month, £79.99 upfront so 31x24+79.99=823.99. Did I miss something here??

In reality you could probably sell the headphone for £75, bringing cost nearer £300 mark

Is there no fees if cancelling the service straight away?

nope.. you just need to pay off what you owe on the device.

So why can't you get a credit agreement for just the phone in the first place?

Why would they?
O2 offer this to get people to sign up to contracts, that's where they make their money.
Some people are happy to see out the contracts, you could get quidco on it too if you intend to do so.. you don't need to stay the full 24 months.. just wait till you get the quidco, then cancel (I did this last time).

Refresh effectively allows you to do this.
It does work, and i didnt have any problems doing it. Just make sure you pay off the phone before cancelling airtime-doing it at same time sometimes causes issues, and its worth paying off phone one day, and airtime day or so later.
Good price for phone too.

Best price for this phone so far and o2 unlock for free. Also comes with redemption leaflet for Bang & Olufsen Play H3 earphones.
Very tempted.

Apologies, new to this, but I'm due an upgrade soon - this has my interest. I am a bit confused, however... If the contract is £31 per month over 24 months, plus an additional £79 for the phone, it works out at £700+ over the term?

This is not a deal

Ignore the 'Airtime' part of the contract.. you can cancel this anytime after you've paid off the phone.
What you pay is: £79.99 upfront plus £13 x 24 = £312 = £391.99
Basically do this. Take out the contract, pay the upfront amount. Once you receive it, call up and pay off the outstanding handset amount (£312). By doing this, you're free to cancel the remaining airtime contract, penalty free.

the idea of it is to get the phone. pay it in full and cancel the contract
