New O2 tariff separates subsidised handsets from fixed-term contracts

Author: The Fonecast

O2 UK has created a new tariff that separates the subsidised cost of a mobile phone from a minimum-term airtime contract.

Launching on 16th April, O2 Refresh has a 24-month airtime plan and a separate finance agreement for a ‘phone plan’. Customers who want a new handset before the end of their minimum contract term can pay for the remainder of their Phone Plan and start a new Airtime Plan with no termination fee.
