Pricing & Plans
How much do SIM-only plans cost?
SIM-only plans vary depending on the data, calls, and texts included. As a general guide, 30-day rolling plans start from around £8/month and 12-month plans from around £6/month, though pricing can change with current O2 promotions. Come in or give us a ring and we'll show you exactly what's available right now with confirmed pricing for your specific needs.
What's the starting price for a new phone on contract?
New handset contracts typically start from around £25/month depending on the device and tariff you choose. The monthly amount covers both a contribution toward the handset and your calls, texts, and data. We'll always show you the full breakdown — handset cost, tariff cost, total contract value — before you commit to anything.
Are there any hidden fees or charges?
We make a point of showing you the complete cost before you agree to anything. This includes your monthly tariff, any upfront payment, and the total cost of the contract. We don't add admin fees or setup charges on top. All pricing shown is subject to credit assessment and current O2 availability.
What's the difference between SIM-only and a pay monthly contract?
A SIM-only plan is just the SIM — you bring your own phone and pay a lower monthly amount for calls, texts, and data. A pay monthly contract bundles a new handset with a SIM into one monthly payment over a set term (usually 24 months). SIM-only is almost always cheaper if you're happy with your current phone.
Upgrades & Existing O2 Customers
I'm already on O2 — can you help me with my upgrade?
Yes. As an authorised retailer we can assist existing O2 customers with upgrades. Come in or give us a ring and we'll check your eligibility and walk you through what's available — without you having to sit on hold with customer services for an hour.
Can I keep my phone number when I switch?
Yes, in most cases. You'll need to request a PAC code (porting authorisation code) from your current provider. We can walk you through this process in store — it's usually straightforward and number transfers typically happen within one working day.
Can you manage my existing O2 account?
As an independent authorised retailer, there are some account management actions we can assist with in store — and others that need to be handled directly through
o2.co.uk or the O2 app. Come in and tell us what you need — we'll let you know straight away whether we can help or point you in the right direction.
Roaming & International
Will my O2 plan work abroad?
It depends on your plan and destination. Post-Brexit, O2 charges vary for EU travel depending on your tariff. Some plans include EU roaming; others charge a daily fee. We'll look at your specific plan and destination before you travel and give you honest advice about what to expect — and whether an add-on is worth it for your trip.
How do I avoid unexpected charges when travelling?
The key things to check before you go: whether roaming is included in your plan, the daily charge if it isn't, and whether data roaming is enabled by default on your phone. Come and see us before you travel — five minutes of advice can save you a genuinely nasty bill when you get back.
