FAQs

What’s O2 Switch Up?

With O2 Switch Up, you can swap your current phone for a new one every 90 days (as long as it’s in good condition).


How does Switch Up work?

O2 Switch Up is included with Plus Plans at no extra cost.

Once you’ve got Switch Up, you can pop into an O2 store to swap on the spot. Or if you’d rather switch by post, just give us a call on 202 or log into My O2 to get started.

Once we’ve checked it’s in good nick, we’ll pay off your current contract and you’ll start a new plan for whichever phone you’ve picked. Don’t forget you’ll need to make sure you take out a Plus Plan if you want to use Switch Up again.

If your phone doesn’t meet our grading criteria, we’ll let you know what other options are available.

If you don’t return your old phone, you will continue to pay for that phone’s device plan until it ends – along with your new one.

Just so you know, Switch Up isn’t available on custom plans or SIM only plans.
