Flexible tariffs

Say hello to data you can flex up and down, on all Pay Monthly devices

Flex your data monthly

All O2 Refresh tariffs bought on or after 22 March 2018 are flexible. This means you can change your airtime tariff up or down, once a month.

Once you’ve had your new device for 30 days, you’ll be able to move between the other tariffs that were available on your phone when you bought it. Simply sign in to My O2 and choose the tariff you want to move to.

If you move to a lower tariff, you could lose some of your benefits – even if you move back to a higher tariff later. This means you may no longer be eligible for the Yearly Upgrade Programme, Free Screen Replacement or Loss and Theft Cover, if they apply to your account.

Don’t worry, we’ll let you know if you’re going to lose any benefits before you confirm your tariff change.

FAQs

Available on selected phones, flexible tariffs let you change your airtime tariff up or down to a selection of tariffs, once a month, throughout the length of your contract.

Each year your airtime tariff will be adjusted on your April bill by the Retail Price Index (RPI) rate of inflation, announced the February before. Find out more

You can change tariffs 30 days after you receive your new phone. You’ll be able to move between the other tariffs that were available on your phone when you bought it, subject to an annual RPI adjustment. Simply sign in to My O2, and choose the tariff you want to move to.

Your new tariff will start from the day of your next billing date.

.From 22 March 2018, flexible tariffs are available on O2 Refresh tariffs for phones, tablets and mobile broadband devices, when bought directly from O2.

If you’re on a flexible tariff you can keep your benefits like membership of our Yearly Upgrade Programme or Free Screen Replacement Cover or Loss and Theft Cover, if you move to a tariff that also offers these benefits (for example, if you’re on a 50GB tariff and want to move down to 30GB).

If you move to a lower ineligible tariff (10GB for example), , you would no longer be eligible for the Yearly Upgrade Programme, and your Free Screen Replacement or Loss and Theft Cover would be cancelled, even if you later move back to a higher tariff.

We’ll let you know if you’re going to lose any benefits, before you confirm your tariff change.

Yes. Flexible tariffs are available to business customers on Business Essentials tariffs. Find out more.

No. The new flexible tariffs are only available with selected phones on O2 Refresh.

Yes, flexible tariffs still qualify for O2 Open and Family Plan, but your  discount will be adjusted to reflect the new tariff price you’ve chosen.
