Call o2 when you get the phone and tell them you want to cancel your airtime and pay the cost of the device.
Seems like a cracker to meee!
Step by step guide for this deal
1) Follow the get deal button, purchase the 79.99 + £18*24 tariff.
2) Receive your phone and sim card.
3) Put the sim card into your phone and go onto myO2 (app or website) and from there request the unlock code.
4) Call 202 from the same sim card as it will make things much easier, go straight to the I want to leave o2 department or something like that (I think it's thinking of leaving us? Press something) as that will connect you with the right people much quicker.
5) Tell the person you want to pay your device in full and cancel the airtime. They will ask you why, tell them you don't think the airtime is a good value for money, but you want to keep the phone because you think it's an outstanding value for money. They will ask you for card details, you tell those details and that's it, they cancel it for you in about an hour.
6) You own the phone from that point, assumed that you have done this straightaway, there won't be any charges, otherwise you will have to pay as much airtime as you have used.
7) Unlock code will come through in about 2 to 48 hours.
Hi Jamie,
02 have a different way of dealing with things.
With 02 when you get a contract from them, they split the payments.
One is your air time (text, minutes and internet usage) and the other is the cost of your mobile device.
example:
Samsung Galaxy S6 Like New 32GB Sapphire Black - (One off payment) £79.99 and Monthly payment of £4.00
Airtime Plan – Monthly Payment of £14.00
24 month contract
500MB data
4G ready
Unlimited texts
500 minutes
What the OP is saying, get the contract, once you have received it, cancel the air time within 14 days cooling off period. This will effectively cancel the Airtime plan.
What you have left is the device contact. So you tell them that you want to keep the device, pay off the full 24 months payment which is £4 per month x by 24 months = £96 + the £80 upfront payment, which gives you a total of £176.
I hope I was able to make it clear for you to understand
HOT DEAL! VOTED!!!!

Its a lottery might be pretty smashed up might be a new one someone didn't like. IMO it's a lot of messing about even if you get through their stringent credit checks and manage the cancelling/unlocking regime, there's still the possibility you will end up with a knackered s/h phone and a damaged credit score, not for me!

This is an appropriate price for the phone now. I bought the same phone brand new last Dec for £260 in O2 refresh deal.

OP. Cancelling the contract is not so easy by just giving a call. You need to request for unlock code etc.
