Today O2 has launched a new tariff that gives customers the flexibility to upgrade their handset at any point during their contract. The O2 price plan comprises two separate deals – one covering usage and the other the cost of the device itself, eliminating the need to pay off the entirety of the contract when they upgrade.
Users who opt for an early upgrade need only pay off the phone plan, with the airtime agreement terminated at no extra cost.
O2 has confirmed that numerous high-end smartphones will be available under the new tariff, including the HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S3, BlackBerry Z10, Sony Xperia T and iPhone 5.
The anticipated Samsung Galaxy S4 will be available on O2 Refresh when it launches in the UK later this month.
Airtime plans are available at between £12 and £20 per month, with tie-in phone deals varying depending on the handset.
