A contract upgrade is the term used when you keep your mobile number and stay with your existing network. Once your mobile number has transferred across to your new phone and SIM card, your old contract will automatically be cancelled.

Great price for this phone, in perfect condition, as good as new. Only minor issue is that when I was setting it up it said that a non-Apple battery was detected. Still, seems that it was refurbished and a new battery used, I don't mind that it is a non-Apple battery, it seems to last just fine. Ofcom recognised that people were paying far too much to stay with their existing network and made ‘porting’ your number really easy… All new phones are supplied with a full UK manufacturers warranty should anything go wrong with your handset. Refurbished handsets are phones that have simply been returned with 14 days and then offered for resale at vastly reduced prices.
