Blackberry Priv

[Anonymous]

Hey guys... new to the forums side of o2, i was wondering if anyone knows if o2 will be stocking the blackberry priv, if not stocking it would i be able to pay off my device then upgrade through carphone warehouse or do i have to pay off device and airtime plan on o2 refresh before i can upgrade like this(new to upgrading haha)

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous Welcome to the forum

Not sure if O2 will be stocking the Blackberry you want. They dont seem ti stock many Blackberry models nowadays. I will ask @Chris_K from O2... as he is the one in the know...

Or you can keep an eye on the shop for updates https://www.o2.co.uk/getupdates

As for refresh...once you have paid your device off you are free to cancel airtime or upgrade. Look at this guide here http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Discussions-Feedback/A-Guide-To-O2-Refresh/td-p/877701

Hi @Anonymous and welcome to the community! I'm Toby, the community manager. I'll talk to the rest of the team to see if i can get a definite answer as to whether we are stocking it

I must say @Toby I was surprised not to see this appear on O2 yet but looking into it I can see 2 things which may explain why.
1. It is still only pre order.
2. And this is the biggy. ...
The blackberry priv is unfortunately exclusive to carphone warehouse

If thats the case re CPW.....the OP will be better taking the second option in my post...

Well spotted @viridis

O2 pricing at CPW.

Seems OK,  not mind blowing but still respectable.

Easiest way to upgrade would be to pay off your current refresh with O2 first but you could take a new contract with cpw and cancel after with O2 as you will find it cheaper to take new contract with cpw.

Going by this link at Mobile news O2 are NOT stocking it http://www.mobilenewscwp.co.uk/2015/10/27/blow-for-blackberry-after-latest-handset-snub/ Why? i am not sure but maybe it is because they cannot make up there minds on where to place the mobile under the devices link on there community support page.Is it a Blackberry(Other Devices) or a Android or do we add another link for Hybrid.
