o2 refresh and cancelling air plan

[bastic]

Hey all
sorry if that was already discussed and am pretty sure all on here know what Im going to ask....
just want to make sure please advise
if I get a mobile on o2 refresh - buy online, pay for the mobile upfront in full, once I get it, I call o2 and cancel the air plan and keep the device ?
am double checking as they have P10 on sale for £319 at the moment and am tempted as 1+5 is too expensive.

Please confirm if I am correct in my thinking.
Thanks

Yes that is how it's done I did it 2 months for my sons S7E

don't forget to request an unlock code too so you can pop in any sim

Just 1 thing don't use webchat to do anything about cancelling . I did 3 times and they never cancelled it correctly and I got £300 bill for airtime . One call had it sorted ... serves me right for been lazy

I did this with a S7 edge, did it by the book, then got a bill for nearly £300 for cancelling , complained to exec office, and got a refund, and an extra £30 , meant i got an s7 Edge that was like new for £270
