Go for the 500MB deal with £99.99 upfront and £22 monthly
Airtime - £14
Device plan - £8
The phone element of contract is £8/month x 24=£192
plus the £99.99 you paid upfront.
Total - 192 + 99.99 = 291.99
Step by step guide for this deal
1) Follow the get deal button, purchase the £99.99 + £22*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.

Be aware that you may be charged for the full contract upfront and it'll take a month or two to get the refund for the airtime.....so only do it if you can afford this.

13 Feb 17#154
just noticed they've put it up to £9 device payment monthly so it's now 24 pounds more. So deal is now £99.99 + (9 x 24) = 315.99

13 Feb 17#153
it was 22 monthly. 14 for airtime which you cancel after getting phone and 8 for phone which you settle total amount with them 8 x 24 = 192

Thanks I bought a quick charge 3.0 charger and it literally charges my S7 in approx 90 mins from 0% to 90%+. it's super quick. Also it's a smart charger so it charges my other none quick charge devices as quick as possible as well. bargain!!!
Did anyone receive a charger with theirs? very annoyingly I only received the fast charger cable.....
I've looked at the Samsung fast chargers and they are £25 eekkk

Just got mine too. In fact it just after posting the link in my last post.
Took around two days in all.
Just gotta say, I managed to pay off the handset tonight £419.99 in total (£59.99 upfront + £360 settlement) and cancel the airtime.
The guy said the airtime would be cancelled within two hours, but it ended up being deactivated within a minute as I was cut off from the agent mid sentence. LOL
First request got rejected the same night, second request I got told they couldn't see the IMEI linked to the O2 phone number so I needed to try again after 24 hours, third request resulted in the unlock code coming through 48 hours later.
Some people get it in just a couple of hours though.

This is true, however standard contracts you only get one search performed, whereas this will have two searches which counts as two credit applications so hits your score harder then say one search today and one in a months time for example. Yes I monitor my credit score religiously LOL.
blinko
12 Jan 17#138
good research. But also for the record you will have a credit check against your name if you took out a standard 18 month contract etc....
tim30485
12 Jan 17#137
As soon as you apply I believe it will add two credit searches onto your credit profile (one for the handset and one for the airtime). Cancelling provided done properly will leave that account as 'settled' so that part will be fine, it's just the initial searches that will make your score take a hit.

Please can someone indulge my naivety. If I order this with a debit card that has ~£1000 money on it, is there anyway when I call to cancel the airtime that it could affect my credit? Also is there any chance the deal for a brand new one around £300 could be coming around again soon like the one people are commenting about from before Christmas?

hey i thought you can cancel the airtime . when ever you have paid the device plan off. even if it is a month after?
Ripperoo
10 Jan 17#125
Does anyone know for sure if the Samsung speaker will be despatched to those who pay off the device in full and cancel the airtime within the cooling off period?
T&Cs "Participants must wait fourteen (14) days from the date of purchase to submit their Claim"
It would appear that you can only apply for the promotion after the cooling off period has passed, which if you have cancelled the airtime, would invalidate the claim, would it not?

Can o2 phones be legitimately unlocked without having to wait 12 months on payg
dealfinder123321
9 Jan 17#108
If your interested in a sim contract then when you are talking to the person about leaving they'll offer some good deals. Managed to get myself a 12 month Unlimited minutes and text and 5gb data all for £12
It's not a dainty case but it feels like it could take a drop, and it gives clearance top and bottom so the screen and camera aren't making contact when it's put down.
I'm not bothering with a screen protector though.

Done 4 refresh deals in last 6 months... The customer service is so bad. O2 advisors dont even understand how refresh works... Got told this week you have to give 30 days notice to cancel because of credit agreement. WRONG you can cancel within first 14 days and no notice has to be given. They have billed me twice every time.... Its just so bad. I always do live chat.. Then forward the chat to customer service and complain... You have to be on the ball... And be prepared to stand your ground....

SOMETIMES, MAY HAPPEN.... you've just proven my point, it CAN happen..... which is the warning in my original post.

hey whats the OP method?
pez555
7 Jan 17#76
No I just do it correctly.
If you cancel any contract within the 14 day cooling off period, by default you will incur the cancellation charge. This SOMETIMES wont happen if you ring up and inform them by the OP method, but the charges can still happen, as per some members here.

7 Jan 17#74

Of course it would. iPhone 7 has only been out a few months.
S7 is old and this deal is crap imo. Get them cheaper on gumtree or facebay
pez555
7 Jan 17#73
Also for all of those people who have issues being charged by o2 for the refresh contract, you aren't doing it correctly.
Do not cancel the contract as soon as you get the phone. Wait until your contract has started after 14 day cooling off and THEN ring up and pay the device cost and request to cancel the airtime. I've been doing o2 refresh ever since it started and never had an issue this way.
pez555
7 Jan 17#72
How is this hot. Perfectly fine handsets from O2 have scratches all over them. You're better off going to gumtree. Also S8 just around the corner.
roirulz
7 Jan 17#71
As some have already mentioned above I've also suffered due to the incompetence of O2. I picked up an iPhone 6 on a similar refresh plan and did everything as stated to cancel however was charged £596 to my account after which i called them and got that amount reversed and was repeatedly told by the agent there was no other balance pending on my account.
I decided to play extra safe and cancelled the direct debit which was setup, only to realize last month that my credit score had come tumbling down from 900 to 390. I logged into my O2 and noticed that there was an outstanding balance of £4 and they tried to take that but weren't successful as I had cancelled the DD.
Please be extra careful when dealing with these clowns!
With a phone that has a surface area made up of over 80% glass, all I can say is good luck with your used S7 :man:

Had 4 O2 Refresh deals now and never had a thing go wrong. Pay in full up front for phone so there's nothing to pay when you ring up to cancel airtime and it all goes very smoothly. There is nothing for O2 to "refuse" as their own website says you can cancel the airtime any time you like without penalty. It really isn't rocket science and there is zero risk. If you're unlucky enough to get lumbered with an idiot operator, simply ring off and call back to get a different one. Anyone that has had issues with O2 and not been able to sort out needs a course on how to complain properly ;-)

Bought one of these previously, the microphone is faulty.
Called O2, arranged 3 swap exchange, all 3 times failed. Sit at home all day long and no one shows up. (But they delivered it okay in the first place)
Called O2 again, cancelled everything and paid the device in full. They still charged me 1 month air time as I was trying to sort out the faulty device.
Called Samsung, arranged the repair, now they run out of parts and have to wait 2 weeks for it to be done.
All I wanted is to save some money. :disappointed:

Not negative per se. Just credit searches on application, 2 lines of credit if you go ahead and then both paid off if that's what you do.

Opening post
Go for the 500MB deal with £99.99 upfront and £22 monthly
Airtime - £14
Device plan - £8
The phone element of contract is £8/month x 24=£192
plus the £99.99 you paid upfront.
Total - 192 + 99.99 = 291.99
Step by step guide for this deal
1) Follow the get deal button, purchase the £99.99 + £22*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.

I've looked at the Samsung fast chargers and they are £25 eekkk
Took around two days in all.
Just gotta say, I managed to pay off the handset tonight £419.99 in total (£59.99 upfront + £360 settlement) and cancel the airtime.
The guy said the airtime would be cancelled within two hours, but it ended up being deactivated within a minute as I was cut off from the agent mid sentence. LOL

Some people get it in just a couple of hours though.
Live chat guy says up to 7 days!:confused:
eBay item number:272472788483
I can't see how we aren't eligible. We purchased a "Promotion Product" on a refresh tariff. It says nothing about continued service with O2 and we did purchase the product and haven't returned it.
T&Cs "Participants must wait fourteen (14) days from the date of purchase to submit their Claim"
It would appear that you can only apply for the promotion after the cooling off period has passed, which if you have cancelled the airtime, would invalidate the claim, would it not?
It's Classed as Grade C but it came out as Grade A* absolutely nothing wrong with it, happy with it, but wish I got the Edge instead... had a note 4 then coming to a smaller phone is a bit weird
Your mileage may vary.
Yep defo wait for code before you cancel.
The original question was for PAYGO phones.

It's not a dainty case but it feels like it could take a drop, and it gives clearance top and bottom so the screen and camera aren't making contact when it's put down.
I'm not bothering with a screen protector though.
Wish I hadn't ummed & ahhed when the £50 discount was still valid. :disappointed:
Just need some recommendations for screen protector and TPU cover.
The speaker offer finishes on the 11th, doesn't it?
"This information is not available at the moment. Please try again later."
Agree about eating if you can but I believe S8 will be announced 26th Feb and then released by April
this deal was on hukd 2 weeks ago, bought 4 and sold them double the price each almost

If you cancel any contract within the 14 day cooling off period, by default you will incur the cancellation charge. This SOMETIMES wont happen if you ring up and inform them by the OP method, but the charges can still happen, as per some members here.
S7 is old and this deal is crap imo. Get them cheaper on gumtree or facebay
Do not cancel the contract as soon as you get the phone. Wait until your contract has started after 14 day cooling off and THEN ring up and pay the device cost and request to cancel the airtime. I've been doing o2 refresh ever since it started and never had an issue this way.
I decided to play extra safe and cancelled the direct debit which was setup, only to realize last month that my credit score had come tumbling down from 900 to 390. I logged into my O2 and noticed that there was an outstanding balance of £4 and they tried to take that but weren't successful as I had cancelled the DD.
Please be extra careful when dealing with these clowns!

These deals should really have a buyer beware warning.
Called O2, arranged 3 swap exchange, all 3 times failed. Sit at home all day long and no one shows up. (But they delivered it okay in the first place)
Called O2 again, cancelled everything and paid the device in full. They still charged me 1 month air time as I was trying to sort out the faulty device.
Called Samsung, arranged the repair, now they run out of parts and have to wait 2 weeks for it to be done.
All I wanted is to save some money. :disappointed:
Nexus 7 on refresh that thay hadn't closed the account properly. (credit card limit dropped to £75) Took many phone calls to sort and it was by chance that I checked on Experian where it showed the O2 account causing the issue. For that reason I wouldn't personally buy on O2 refresh again.
"Yeh not that bad"
"You'll probably not notice the faults"
"Learn to live with it"
Unless some code appears like previously
So disappointing to see a hot deal on a phone only to find its an O2 "deal". Who'd risk their credit rating for a phone? Clearly some people.
Its only positive in the long run as adds a paid in full loan agreement to your history.
It's not bad but it's just how other lenders may interpret it (non profitable debtor)
:-) just need to push them for it.
But won't do anything for the device plan price tho
Definitely worth warning people this is a possibility.
Wonder what fine would look like.
I've been checking the website since the week before Christmas and the same phones have been In Stock and Out of Stock
Personally, "perfectly fine" sounds like "used, condition C" to me.
