About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
Found this while looking for a new phone for the Mrs as her iphone 5 is getting a bit slow. Iphone 6 Space grey/silver/gold 16GB all available like new on o2 refresh and for only £189.99. I know its 16GB but its only £189.99 almost close to moto g prices so that's not too bad Shirley?
To get the price to £189.99 click on Almost Perfect on 16GB then choose the tariff which is 20GB Data £69.99 upfront and £5 monthly device payment plan.
So Upfront £69.99 +
£5 x 24 = £120 = Total £189.99
Better get back to work the wifey thinks I'm talking to somebody called Shirley.....
For those that are fearful of an early termination fee...

sorted byOK so this is how it works:
Step 1 : Buy phone as above with the above listed plan.
Step 2: Wait for phone to arrive. Once it has arrived put the O2 sim into the phone and make a 10-20 second phone call to activate the phones IMEI on O2's system (You need to do this if you want to unlock the phone to use any sim card)
Step 3: Next go to O2's online unlock webpage to unlock your phone for free: https://www.o2.co.uk/apps/help/help?qid=1&q1=2&route=unlocking&case=Handset%20Unlocking%20Form
Step 4: Once unlock request is done it takes 1-7 days to unlock. I would recommend you wait until the phone is unlocked before doing the next step.
*update* It seems you don't need to wait for the unlock to complete before cancelling. You must however request the unlock and confirm with o2 on the phone that unlock is processing before cancelling airtime contract just to be on the safe side.
Step 5: Once the phone is unlocked successfully ring 02 and tell them you want to pay off the device plan which should be £5 x 24 = £120 and you want to also at the same time cancel the airtime. Now o2 customers services representatives are known to be a bit slow so you might need to speak to someone who is on the ball. They should then cancel the airtime and you would have paid off the phone so you have a fully unlocked iPhone 6 for only £189.99.
PS: Some people have stated that o2 sometimes do not cancel the airtime contract part and they get sent bills afterwards, to avoid this I would recommend after you have cancelled the airtime after a few hours or days contact o2 support again and confirm that they have cancelled the airtime plan and get them to confirm in writing.
I know its a bit of a long winded way to get the phone but if all goes well should be worth it

No,call them and let them know.
Deep! oO
You are asking the same questions that have been asked a million times before.
Who knows WHY O2 do these deals. Who cares? The system has been working for years now...
So either pull the trigger, or go with a 'safer' option that costs a heap more
thanks mr Gamer, in 3 years of O2 Refresh deals your the first person who has explained it in an understanding terms for us numptys
You must be new around here? HUKDers don't give up their coins that easily
this is the 4th 02 Refresh deal Ive had off HUKD
this to warn others, as per other deals
you my have a bit of hassel when canceling with getting charged etc
don't worry or panic, you just get back onto 02 and they will sort it, just be patient
also for the record as soon as you get the phone
turn off data, put the sim in call 202 put the phone down (its a free call anyway)
then request your unlock code, you can do this either by online via your account details, by livechat or call up
this takes about 24-48 hours, once you get the unlock code or instruction back
call 02 to pay off off the device plan
they cancel the airtime, then the iphone 6 (unlocked) is yours
Thanks OP daughter is happy

As per my earlier comment:
service.o2.co.uk/IQ/…ion,question=ref%28User%29:str%28Mobile%29,CASE=21629
The deal is still very much live.
1. Sort Tariffs : by Monthly Data (low to high)
2. Then near the bottom click on "+ Show More" to list all the (hidden) options.
3. Select the lady one that is £69.99 upfront, £35pm (2GB data).
Of the £35pm you will pay off £5pm (x24) device fee upfront and cancel the commitment for the £30pm tariff charge as per O2 refresh T&C.
Hope that makes it a bit clearer.
My Iphone 6 16gb gold arrived this morning. It looks brand new! As per the steps the OP outlined I made a quick call to activate the IMEI, then phoned 02. I explained that I wanted to pay off the device in full, request an unlock and cancel the airtime plan. The first person I spoke to requested the unlock for me and stated that a code and instructions for me to follow for the unlock, will be with me within 72 hours. I was then put through to the retention team where another person took my payment for the phone and she requested the airtime plan to be cancelled. She said the cancellation will come into effect tomorrow and that I will only pay for 1 day of the airtime plan. I will let you know how that turns out, as I should get the bill around 8th August.
Many thanks to the Op for pointing out this deal, as I would never have been able to get this phone otherwise.
No, £5pm is for the handset. Refresh contracts are seperate; £30pm for the Airtime and £5pm for the Phone. Cancel the Airtime (as above) and pay off the phone to get the deal.

Priceless!
Why? would this happen you take out a credit contract and pay it off early? errr is that not a good thing? doh
What are you expecting? That you can pay £69.99 + £5 for your iPhone?!
If that was possible, you'd have heard about it by now...
(edited)
Its £79.99 Then the same plan as this iphone
Wouldn't risk it for the sake of £60 (benefit over buying p&g drops to £30 if o2 charge for the first month).

I'd like to hear how you think the Chinese ones are more reliable?

That chat rep is talking utter jibberish, it's in the o2 tc that you can pay off phoneplan and cancel airtime, this has been posted over & over on here.
Chill. It will go through fine. I would suggest to keep an eye on the final bill as I was charged £600 early termination charge my mistake. I just went on chat and they put a credit on right away.
The phone is unlocked to begin with. Just put in a Three sum to ensure it stays that way.
If already locked, put in the O2 sim, switch on the phone...then log into your O2 account and scroll down to the unlock your phone box. Confirm the handset has tied correctly to the account - then just request the unlock.
Definitely worth it, saves you the time when selling up
First thing i did was call 202, left it hanging for 45 seconds and then hung up. Next i went to the o2 live chat to unlock the phone, guy said unlock process went through fine and will be unlocked in 7? days i also made sure to ask if i cancel the air time today will it still be unlocked and he said yes.
Next i called up o2 by dialing 202, selecting option 1, then option 2 and then the option where the lady says "if your are thinking of leaving o2 press 4". I talked to a very friendly guy he asked me why i wanted to cancel the air time i just told him it was too much and that was that. i paid off the phone and he cancelled the air time. i made sure to quadruple check that i would not be charged £30 for this month or an absurd amount like £30x24 for cancelling early. all i was going to be charged was £120 for paying off the phone and something like £2 for using 2 days of air time.
sorry for the wall of text but overall process was very smooth and im very happy.
Mine has warranty until January 25th 2017. Not too bad.
Ask them why that's the case. There must be a reason several people have told you the same thing.
All I said was I'd like to pay off the device and cancel the airtime. All done within 15 mins. I requested the unlock via their app. Hope it goes through ok.

Thanks (_;)
Going from previous threads no it does not. It seems to come in a brown box with usb cable and the sim card tool. Mine is due today so will let you know once I have received it later today.
