O2 customers can swap phones whenever they like

O2 is announcing the launch of O2 Switch Up, giving its customers more freedom to flex their plan. They can swap their phone at any point in their contract, as many times as they’d like.

O2 Switch Up will automatically be included in Plus Plans at no extra cost, offering customers a completely non-restrictive contract and even more flexibility to swap their mobile to suit their needs. Alternatively, customers can add O2 Switch Up to a new Custom Plan as a Bolt On for just £3.99 a month to enjoy complete freedom to keep up with the latest devices.

Once customers have O2 Switch Up as part of their plan, they can use it to switch to a new phone whenever they want to, whether it be the latest flagship launch or one of O2’s ‘Like New’ phones, the choice is entirely theirs. With no limits to how long customers need to have had their current phone or how long is left on their existing contract, switching devices has never been easier.

Through O2 Switch Up, the phone being swapped will be checked to ensure it meets the required condition criteria and a new handset and Plus Plan or Custom Plan will be activated to complete the switch, with no need for customers to pay off the remainder of their previous plan. The handset that is traded in will be refurbished and resold as a ‘Like New’ device for somebody else to enjoy, helping to avoid e-waste and increase O2’s ‘Like New’ offering. To date, O2 has refurbished and reused over 3.5m devices through O2 Recycle, helping to extend the life cycle of devices for customers looking to buy second hand.

To get O2 Switch Up, customers can head in store, go online at www.o2.co.uk/shop or call 0808 002 0202 to take out or upgrade to a new Plus Plan or any other Custom Plan.

Customers should remember to back up all contacts, pictures, videos and files as well as remove any passwords before switching.
