O2 and T-Mobile block upgrades until January
Customers are offered discount incentives as operators run out of cash
O2 and T-Mobile are telling customers to wait up to three months for their upgrades in a bid to save cash.
The parent companies of both networks – Telefónica and Deutsche Telekom respectively – appear to be looking to pull cash out of the UK businesses.
Since Monday 13 October, O2 customers wishing to upgrade are being assuaged with a £15-per-month discount on their monthly bill if they hold out on upgrades until January (after the financial year).
Manufacturers have had to review their sales forecasts at O2 in light of the drive for ‘non-hardware’ contract sales between now and Christmas.

But it's not compulsary mind, it's just strongly recommended to customers, and if anything is prolly not a bad idea because in the new year most phone will be cheaper anyway, prolly worth hanging on.
But no matter what I say, as always, this thread will get flamed, as will I...
My opinions on this forum are that of my own and not of the company I work for. |

I appreciate your comment Deadalus, i think that anyone with sense would wait too.
what happens if you have a £20 a month contract? You only pay £5 then? |

Rubbish lol. No truth in that article at all. Who is it that makes up these stories should consider writing joke books lol.
O2 are doing no such thing and if you are wanting to upgrade you can do so, providing you are in a position to upgrade.
