If you pay the plan monthly you will also have to pay line rental. So no When you pay the device in full you can then cancel the airtime part of the contract (within 14 day cooling off period)

For example on the 16gb version it will be the £29.99 upfront tariff and £22 per month (£3 for phone, £19 for tariff) as instructed above once you pay off the device (£72) then cancel line rental you end up with the phone for £101.99 Its a bit of a faff but worth it if you can be bothered.

Of course your score will drop, you're taking out a credit agreement!! It will however go back up if you make the payments on time and/or close the account when paid in full.

You are correct. But its not such a fun thing to have to do. I had an awful experience and I was just trying to make a point that the 1 year O2 warranty is hard hard work. Whereas a new phone is covered by Apple, who are excellent to deal with. Clearly the difference in cost of a brand new phone is a huge factor.

Yeah 2017, online storage and fast internet for streaming/downloading means disposable storage is not an issue.
The comment on screen size is totally naive too. Personally love a phone which I can run with and use at night with one hand.

Sorry I have little knowledge of credit...why does a company conducting a credit check reduce your score?
ALso, is this available for someone who doesn't have an o2 contract in the first place?

You are taking out a credit agreement so that adds to your credit file.
