O2 revolutionises tariff thinking with Refresh

O2 pulled out the stops for the event, holding it at one of London’s coolest venues, Circus, and pulling in the likes some amazingly talented acrobats and the supremely gifted magician Oliver B.

Oliver B wowed the crowds by doing several amazing jaw dropping tricks including mind reading.  I was lucky enough to be called up on the stage too, and Oliver B managed to predict what colour clothes I  was drawing on a piece of paper behind his back.  He then blew my mind and the crowds by showing the crowd that he was actually wearing the same coloured clothes when he removed his jacket.   Amazing to see such new fresh talent.

( If you don’t believe me- then there is a video coming soon!)

New awesome phones come out every year!

( anyway –back to phones!) O2 have picked up on what a lot of people are saying about mobile tariffs (and one of my own personal gripes):

If you want to buy a phone, you are lumbered with a 24 month contract, which you are locked into.  That means for a whole 2 years you have sit and drool over what you friends and family  have whilst you count down the months until your upgrade.  Mobile moves on a LOT in a year.

With O2 refresh, O2 they seem to have thrown this model thankfully out of the window.

How it works

In the words of O2 as they say it quite succinctly:

When a customer signs up to O2 Refresh, they choose a Phone Plan and an Airtime Plan. By signing up to and paying separately for their phone and airtime, customers are given complete transparency, while paying the same overall as they would on a standard 24 month Pay Monthly tariff.

For those customers who want a new handset before the end of their contract term, O2 Refresh enables them to pay off the remainder of their Phone Plan and end their Airtime Plan with no termination fee. To make it even more affordable to get the latest smartphone, customers can trade in their old mobile for cash using O2 Recycle, getting up to £260 to put towards their new phone
