Just upgraded with O2. They are knocking off £260 off devices right now. I spoke to someone 2 weeks ago and another 2 people today (the phone cut off) and all know about the £260 off device plan offer.
From 3 times purchase experience these phones are fresh devices but comes without the original box. Instead come in a o2 branded box with a charging cable and sim ejection pin. I’ve never seen a scratch on my examples but these are technically sold as ‘like new/ refurbished’ so your experience can be different.
What I signed up for and you can too:
O2 Refresh
Airtime Plan 30GB Unltd calls & Txt £26.99
Device plan £0 upfront £15 per month spread over 36months with final payment of £14.99.
You can pay for the device anytime and end your contract without penalty.
If you wanted to stay with O2 you can choose any other data plan )doesn’t have to be the one I went for above).
If you have another O2 Pay monthly user at home you can save 20% off your airtime every month.
O2 Open (work benefits) get 25% off airtime
O2 friends and family discount gets 50% airtime.
On writing this post the following iPhone 13 Pro’s are in stock:
128GB Only
Graphite
Sierra Blue
Alpine Green

sorted byThank you very much OP
I went for an iPhone 13. There may be other options available if people want to try...
First I logged onto My O2 and went through my upgrade options, before I called customer services.
You select Upgrade and get offered an iPhone 14, then you select All Upgrades button...
Then i clicked on the Apple icon for iphones..
After that, it still defaults to new devices but there's a button to show Refurbished devices.
Thats where you see the Like New iphones and options...
Pick on the one you want and you're then shown a screen with the costs on it.
That screen defaults to no upfront payment, but you can toggle the upfront payment to £260, which gives you a monthly device cost and a monthly airtime cost...
Armed with that, you ring customer services and negotiate the deal. They offered £240 off the ordinary iphone 13 - so no upfront charge and the monthly charges were then the same as I'd had illustrated online, if i'd paid 240 upfront...
My phone arrived next day. I assume they vary but I think mine is basically a new phone that was switched on and activated 51 weeks ago, and then switched off again...
There are no marks on it anywhere and the battery life is 100%, but the apple warranty expires on Tuesday....
I suppose that's the gamble you take for a bargain...
I then rang yesterday to switch away from my airtime plan. Customer services said they couldn't revert me to my old uswitch tariff as that had been closed down when I moved to my new Refresh tariff... I could only switch to a O2 published tariff. If I wanted a uswitch deal, i had to order that myself.
So thats what I did, I ordered a uswitch o2 deal yesterday, that sim arrived today. One more call to customer services later, they've moved my number onto the new uswitch sim and terminated my O2 refresh tariff...
That means I'm stuck with o2 on a new 12 month deal (I was 7 months through my old 12 month uswitch deal...), but I've got an iphone 13 for under £430 which makes that just fine... (edited)
Cancelling airtime and paying off device plan was easy enough and O2 even matched an £8pm USwitch deal (20gb / unlimited / unlimited, 12 months). V happy
I called 0808 002 0202, chose Upgrades (option 1), somebody picked up immediately. Told them I would like to upgrade via O2 Refresh to an iPhone 13 Pro like new, and that a friend told me about an offer where the total device cost is £540, with device cost being £15 and airtime £26.99, with 30GB of data. After some security checks she told me to hold a moment. After 2 mins she came back with the offer. Went through the terms and done! Note that only available colours at that time were Blue and Green.
Thanks OP!
Im on O2 pay & go and want to stay on it.
This is the Consumer Credit Agreement I got in my email as confirmation. Sorry you guys haven’t had any luck I just thought it would be pretty standard as all the advisors knew what I was on about. Maybe they were looking at the notes on my account?
Will pay off the device plan in full asap and cancel the airtime plan.
Thank you!

Also, how easy is it to cancel airtime and pay outright ? Managed to get the deal following your instructions, just have to do the cancelling part. Wanted to see if I could do same with partner but they're not on O2. Would it be possible to get a cheap O2 PAYG sim and upgrade?
I just received one at what I thought was a good price for £690 from cheapest electrical. Another £150 saved on top (so long as it's in great condition) is awesome!
I assume the phones are unlocked?
Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max 128GB Graphite TransBatt
does anyone know what TransBatt stands for?
Not sure what you Mungo Beans are doing or why you can't follow simple instructions.
Thank OP !
Has anyone else managed to secure this deal?
Thanks
