2. O2 Refresh
What’s better than saving money? Our ground-breaking O2 Refresh tariff has transformed the way people buy mobile phones and lets you clearly see what you’re paying for by separating the device plan and airtime plan. On O2 Refresh you can change devices whenever you want (once you’ve paid off your device plan) but, importantly, you’re not being charged for a phone you’ve already paid for #whypaymore
