How to add an O2 Refresh custom plan to your Employee Tariff

  1. You can add an O2 Refresh custom plan to your Employee Tariff by: 
    1. Working out how much you want to pay to get the device you want at:
      www.o2.co.uk/shop/phones for handsets,
      www.o2.co.uk/tablets for tablets; or
      www.o2.co.uk/shop/smartwatches for Smartwatches. 
    2. Spreading the cost of your Device Plan between 3 to 36 months (up to 48 months on selected Apple iPads).
    3. Selecting:
      • the 5GB Airtime Plan for your handset; 
      • the 2GB Airtime Plan for your tablet; and/or
      • the unlimited data plan for Apple Watch. If purchasing an Apple Watch, you will need an iPhone 6S or newer on Custom Plans or an O2 Pay Monthly SIM Only plan & an iPhone 6S or newer.
    4. the 1GB data plan for Samsung Connected Watch. If purchasing a Samsung Connected Watch, you will need a 2019 Samsung Smartphone or newer that is also on O2. Please note, if you successfully complete the process set out in this clause, you will receive an Unlimited data allowance for handsets and tablets, despite having selected the tariff referred to above.
    5. Once you’ve signed up to O2 Refresh, complete the online staff pay monthly request form found on the “Just For You”, “My Rates”, or “Navigate” on the intranet.
    6. You will receive the Employee Tariff for the length of your Device Plan.
    7. Because you’re staff, you’ll get free airtime for the duration of your Device Plan (i.e. between 3 – 36 months (or up to 48 on selected Apple iPads) depending on how long you decide to spread the cost of your device). Remember, with O2 Refresh custom plans, you can upgrade as often as you want. All you need to do is pay off your Device Plan in full.

What happens after your Device Plan finishes?

  1. Once your Device Plan ends, the following will happen:
    1. If you're still an Eligible Employee, you can upgrade to a new O2 Refresh Employee Tariff and you won’t have to pay for your Airtime Plan for the duration of the Device Plan of your new contract.
    2. If you're still an Eligible Employee, and you don't upgrade, you'll be moved to the SIM Only Employee Tariff until you upgrade, change tariff or leave O2. This plan currently includes unlimited minutes & texts, 50 MMS and Unlimited data for £16 a month (subject to the annual RPI and 3.9% increase).
    3. If you are no longer an employee of an eligible company anymore, and choose to upgrade, you can take out a new contract which will be subject to the terms of our consumer tariffs available at the time.
    4. If you are no longer an employee of an eligible company anymore, and choose not to upgrade, you will be moved to a Pay Monthly rolling 30 day SIM Only airtime tariff for £16 a month (subject to annual RPI and 3.9% increases) for your device until you choose to upgrade, change tariff or leave O2. This is a 1GB tariff and where this tariff is applied to a handset, you will also receive unlimited minutes & texts. e. We'll let you know when we’ve moved you across to our SIM Only Employee Tariff (if you still work for us) or the 30 day SIM Only airtime tariff (if you don't work for us anymore).
