My contract is finishing on the 10th with o2 after two years and currently have a Samsung S2 that continues to serve me well, and is in mint condition due to it being housed in a casemate toughcase.

I pay £22 per month for 200 minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB of data.

What should I push for/expect in the form of an upgrade, S3 S4? considering my current phone is OK should I go SIM only?.
 
I'm in two minds on what to do, I mainly use the phone for texts and internet. Phone calls are nearly non existent and this month alone i've used about 12 minutes in total.

I would love to have a Note 3 and don't mind paying a few extra ££ for it.

when contract ends, go PAYG, then choose a contract you like from provider you like, and go through cashback site.
once contract is up and running transfer number from PAYG onto new contract
buy Nexus 5 from Google Play (or 16GB from CPW)
win

Have a look at Virgin Mobile (especially if you're Virgin Media customer already), Tesco Mobile - use O2, so same coverage or even 3 with unlimited data and potential for LTE at no extra cost.

O2 is meh these days.

That is a little bit complicated.

I would like to retain my number and stay on o2 as i've had no problems in 2 years of being with them.

Ok my contract is up as of tomorrow, so far i've been offered (from phones4u)

For £32 per month on a 24 month contract Equates to £768. :eek:
Unlimited calls
Unlimited texts
1GB of data
Free Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Free galaxy tab (not bothered with this).

How should I proceed?

I really want a Note 3 for not much more than £22 that I have been paying over the past 2 years.

What are my chances of getting a Note 3 for £22 per month? 200 minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB of data.

I've already told phones4u to call back tomorrow as i've told them i'm waiting for o2 to get back to me with an offer.

:mad: O2 won't budge they say they can only do the current deals on their website.
The lady on chat kept trying to get me to keep my current phone and have another 24 month contract but at a cheaper rate (£17) was paying £22.

No way am I tying myself down again for 24 months with an old phone.

Help!!!!

Was offered,

600 minutes
unlimited texts
750MB of data

£150 credit so I don't pay anything for ~8 months then £17 after.

The best deal I have been offered (with a new phone), is £30 per month with a samsung s4, 600 minutes/unlimited/750 data and a 24 month contract, really wanted a note 3.

O2 don't price match on sim only.

I've got a headache and got nowhere.

did you give your 30 days notice? Well if you didn't I guess you will now, ask for your pac and ask for a 30 day termination (minimum you can request), use the SIM for a month on your old contract and they may phone you back up with a better offer half way through the month if you havn't used the PAC yet.

Yes notice was given last month.

O2 still not playing ball, requested PAC, got it , cancelled contract and ordered a sim only deal from Virgin 250/unlimited/1GB £10 per month 1 month rolling contract.

Saved myself £12 per month and got a better package to boot.

O2 why you not want my money?
 
Well i've got to say Virgin craps all over O2 for reception and internet speed :eek:

Installed it today and i'm really chuffed with it and saved myself £12 per month as well.

I'm just waiting for my old number to be transferred over them i'm good to go.
