Following its launch in 2016, O2 has just refreshed their ‘Like New’ proposition.

With O2’s Like New phones, you can save up to £200 compared to the cost of buying a brand new phone of the same model (or even more with their special offers such as an extra £100 off). You’ll also benefit from at least 40 quality checks and at least 80% battery health on your Like New phone, plus an inclusive warranty of up to 3-years (depending on the plan you choose).

As a special offer, it’s currently possible to save an extra £100 on the upfront cost of the Galaxy S23 128GB Like New and the iPhone SE 3rd Generation 64GB Like New. Enter NCS23RE as your voucher code to save on the Galaxy S23 and NCISE3 as your voucher code to save on the iPhone SE. Both offers end on the 12th June 2024.

In this article, we’ll look at O2’s latest Like New deals and how you can save an extra £100 with their new voucher code offer. We’ll also take an in-depth look at what you’re able to expect from the Like New devices, along with the features available on O2, and how you can keep your current phone number when you join.

What are O2 Like New Phones?

If you’re looking for a smart way to save money on your next mobile phone, O2 offers their ‘Like New’ phones as an alternative to buying a brand new smartphone.

According to O2, you can save up to £200 when buying a Like New phone (compared to the cost of buying a brand new phone of the same model). It’s also better for the environment as this will lower the carbon footprint of your phone, as well as using fewer virgin materials and helping keep electronic waste out of the landfill.

Before selling their Like New phones, O2 takes a number of steps to ensure the quality of the device:

  • All of the ‘Like New’ phones will have undergone at least 40 quality checks. There’s an extensive list of checks that are made on every single phone. It’s a detailed checklist that looks at everything from the camera to the display and the battery, making sure it’s all working as you’d expect. Although it’s possible there’ll be signs of wear on your Like New phone, it should be free of any deep dents or scratches.
  • You’ll get at least 80% battery health on your Like New phone. That’ll keep you going as you browse, text and share on your phone throughout the day.
  • All of the previous data will have been wiped securely. The device will have also been updated to the latest operating system, before the phone is re-packaged in an O2 box.
  • You’ll get up to 3 years warranty. For peace of mind that your device will continue working as it should, you’ll get the same warranty as if you were buying a brand new phone from O2. That’s a 3-year warranty when you choose a Plus Plan, or a 1-year warranty on their standard plans.
  • There’s 14 days to exchange or return your device. If you’re unhappy with the device for any reason, you’ll have 14 days to exchange or return it to O2.

Apart from that, you’ll get all of the normal benefits that you’ll get with any other smartphone from O2. This includes the ability to pay monthly for your phone over 36 months, and to choose a monthly rolling airtime plan to go with it.

O2 Like New Phone Deals

As a special offer that’s running until the 12th June 2024, O2 is offering a time-limited voucher code so you can save an additional £100 off the upfront price of the following two devices:

  • Samsung Galaxy S23 128GB Like New: This is Samsung’s high-end Android-powered smartphone with powerful AI technology built-in, such as Circle to Search with Google, Live Translate and Photo Assist. You’ll get a 50-megapixel rear-facing camera, along with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor for Galaxy. Use the NCS23RE discount code at checkout to save an additional £100.
  • iPhone SE 3rd Gen 64GB Like New: This is a pocket-friendly iPhone with a 4.7-inch display. However, despite its smaller size, you’ll still get the powerful A15 Bionic processor, along with 5G connectivity and all-day battery life. Use the NCISE3 discount code at checkout to save an additional £100.

In both cases, you’ll need to order your phone through the O2 website. To receive the full £100 saving, you should edit your plan so that the upfront cost is at least £100. That’s because the £100 discount is applied to the upfront cost.

O2 Features

99% UK Coverage

Flexible Plans

On O2, you have the flexibility to build your own custom plan by choosing how much to pay upfront for your phone, and the plan length over which you’d like to spread out the cost (between 3 months and 36 months).

Alongside your Device Plan, you’ll be able to choose a separate Airtime Plan, with data allowances ranging from 1GB to fully unlimited data. There’s the flexibility to change your Airtime Plan each month to suit your requirements (e.g. you can upgrade to get more data, or you can downgrade to save some money).

If you’d like to upgrade your phone, it’s possible to do this at any time, simply by paying off the remainder of your Device Plan.

Keeping Your Phone Number

If you’re switching to O2, it’s easy to keep your current phone number.

To do so, you’ll need to request a PAC Code from your old mobile network. You can do this by texting PAC to 65075. Once you’ve done that, you can give the PAC Code to O2 – either when you’re ordering your plan online, or through this page after you sign up.

Once you’ve given the PAC Code to O2, your phone number transfer will normally be scheduled for the next working day.

For a step-by-step guide on how to move your phone number to O2, please select your current mobile network from the drop down menu below:
