How soon can I upgrade on O2 / Carphone Warehouse?
It used to be 12 months but I dont see anything on the CPW website that states this now. All it says is that if you upgrade early, you pay extra towards the new contract depending on how early you upgrade. The question is, just how early can you upgrade? For instance, 3 months before the contract is up?
Also, who handles my account, O2 or CPW? I have been with them for 4 years now and want the option to be able to switch to another network within CPW if a better deal shows up. Is that possible as its still a CPW account, or are the networks handled separately? Essentially I want to get an iPhone as and when it is released, and want to explore the potential problems I will run into (ie if its released 9 months into my contract, or if its not available on O2 etc) |

You can generally upgrade in the last month of your contract.
The exception to this is that the network may ring you a month or so early and offer an early upgrade to pre-empt the dealers who will be ringing you after your contract ends. You are an O2 customer, as well as a CPW customer, but O2 have priority. Upgrades are rarely the best option for a customer now, and porting to a new network offers far more many incentives. When you buy a phone from CPW, they are retailers on behalf of the networks, so you are not tied to CPW, you can often get better deals elsewhere on the high street if you look around. It is unlikely that you will be able to swap to another network mid contract without incurring penalties. |

Many thanks.
I am going to cancel the upgrade I accepted today then and continue to use my N70 until the iPhone comes out. I guess if i do so within 7 days I should be OK. |
