Mobile network operator O2<\/a> (Virgin Media<\/a>) has today “refreshed<\/em>” their ‘Like New’ scheme, which offers customers the ability to take a refurbished mobile phone alongside a big discount and decent warranty period. The changes are largely said to reflect “huge savings and benefits<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

Just to underline that claim of “huge savings<\/em>“, O2<\/a> are celebrating the refresh by offering a limited time discount of \u00a3360 on selected mobiles for all customers, as well as an additional \u00a370 upfront saving on a number of phones, including the Samsung Galaxy S23 5G<\/a> 256GB, for existing customers via the My O2<\/a> App. Both offers can be used in conjunction, meaning existing customers could potentially save up to \u00a3430.<\/p>\n

Take note that the additional \u00a370 discount will be applied to existing customers\u2019 baskets when they select a specific phone (covering a range of recent Samsung, iPhone and Google Pixel devices) and a) Set the upfront cost of their device to at least \u00a370 via the My O2 app, b) Select their desired phone plan length and tariff, and c) Paste the voucher code found on the My O2 app into the \u2018Got a promo code?<\/em>\u2019 section during checkout by 15 July 2024.<\/p>\n

New and improved benefits of buying a \u2018Like New\u2019 phone include:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a4 Money-saving:<\/strong> Customers can save up to \u00a3200 compared to buying the same model brand-new through O2, all year round.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Better for the planet:<\/strong> Buying a refurbished phone instead of a brand-new one lowers the device\u2019s carbon footprint, uses fewer virgin materials and helps keep devices out of landfills.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 They\u2019re \u2018Like New\u2019:<\/strong> A phone will undergo at least 40 quality checks to ensure every screen, microphone, flashlight, volume key, speaker, camera, battery and fingerprint scanner meets the same or similar standard of a new phone.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Peace of mind:<\/strong> Customers that purchase a Plus Plan contract get a three-year handset warranty and those on a Classic Plan get one years, just like they would if they bought a brand-new phone. And if they decide the phone isn\u2019t quite right for them, they have 14 days to exchange or return it.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 O2 perks: <\/strong>According to Uswitch, O2 customers can save nearly \u00a3500 over the duration of their contract on benefits such as Priority from O2 and inclusive EU roaming – that\u2019s higher than any other mobile network provider in the UK.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Battery health:<\/strong> Every Like New phone must have a battery capacity that is at least 80%.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Flexible payment:<\/strong> Customers can find a payment plan that suits them by spreading the cost of their Like New phone over three to 36 months and can flex their plan\u2019s data allowance up or down each month with O2 Refresh.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Next day delivery:<\/strong> Once the mobile is ordered, it will arrive the next day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The refurbished Like New phones are currently available on both O2’s Classic Plans<\/strong> or Plus Plans<\/strong> and come with the same benefits as new devices. People could of course potentially save more money by grabbing a second-hand device from eBay or another auction site, but that arguably carries more risk because there won’t be a long warranty or third party checking to ensure the device you’re receiving meets certain basic requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
