Was about to buy an iPhone 5c 8gb for £319 and stumbled across this on the o2 website.
Contract is £22 per month; £9 handset, £13 sim.
Because this is an o2 refresh contract, you are able to pay for the handset outright (£216) and the £13 per month sim cost is waived.
Comes locked to o2 but o2 will unlock it for free.
Hope this post can be of use to someone.

Not all are oos
just click "Go to deal"
No that's too easy
For anyone else they are all out of stock and Android lovers don't do it, your phone will spontaneously combust.
Bought a Note 3 last month at the same price (216)
Cancelling the airtime and getting the unlock code all very straight forward
Yes it is but they unlock for freeeeeeeee
Once you receive your phone, cancel the airtime contract within 7 days.
how do I do that, just ring them up? sorry not up to speed on these deals thanks for your reply tho
2) When the phones arrives apply for the unlock code (no need to insert the sim)
3) Phone O2 tell them you want to cancel the airtime and pay off the handset £216.00
4) Confirm with online chat everything is in order, keeping a copy of the transcript
5) That's it.
All phones are fully tested and checked before being put back on sale.
A refurbished phone should be no more likely to go faulty than a brand new one and is treated just the same by o2 if it was to break.
I got a 32gb iPhone 5 last year using refresh for £240. Handset like new and came with brand new charger, usb lightning cable and EarPods.
No problems at all cancelling the airtime side of contract and after selling my old iPhone 4 on Gumtree for £190 this wasn't a bad way to upgrade.
By far if you can live without the apps, more fluid OS, better screen, better camera, far more up to date phone than this.
I would guess anyone who wants a compact cheap iPhone that runs the latest IOS and which will be supported by at least another 2 major updates. Not everyone wants or needs a top of the range Android or IOS device, and Apple tend to support their "older models" for much longer than other manufacturers.
That is just it though, by todays standards £216 for the equivalent of a current mid range phone is far from cheap.
You're correct though missing the point. This is a good price for a (likely new effectively) 5c, comparing this to Android or Windows phone is pointless.
A good deal in my opinion however as a telco, I reckon the days of the glory o2 once were has vanished, although o2 seem to be the the only company that offers refresh deals with an easy option to quit.
HUKD
Why? Are not other midrange phones from other manufacturers in direct competition with Apple, therefore to be compared?
Who in their right mind would want to pay this much for a used midrange phone? Perhaps the same person who is not in their right mind to want to pay £600 for an iPhone 6.
