Get the phone unlocked and she can also use a local sim along with TU.</P> Mon, 16 May 2016 19:03:19 GMT jonsie 2016-05-16T19:03:19Z https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Pay-Monthly/Looking-to-cancel-airtime-on-a-new-contract/m-p/972027#M112999 My friend has taken out a Samsung on a contract, the device is £30 monthly and she has an expensive airtime plan too. We have decided to go to Australia - so the airtime is now no use to her whatsoever, but she has already had the contract for about a month, so can't cancel. Basically she could be paying for a UK airtime plan for two years that she won't be able to use.<BR /><BR />Is there any way she can cancel the airtime plan, but still pay for the phone monthly?

You can't do it the other way around.</P> Mon, 16 May 2016 18:44:40 GMT https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Pay-Monthly/Looking-to-cancel-airtime-on-a-new-contract/m-p/972029#M113001 Bambino 2016-05-16T18:44:40Z https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Pay-Monthly/Looking-to-cancel-airtime-on-a-new-contract/m-p/972036#M113002 Pay off the device plan and cancel the airtime for free and the phone is then yours to do as you wish with.

That said check if you have to make calls etc to keep it active not sure what the timescales are now.</P> Tue, 17 May 2016 09:23:03 GMT https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Pay-Monthly/Looking-to-cancel-airtime-on-a-new-contract/m-p/972075#M113011 Anonymous 2016-05-17T09:23:03Z https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Pay-Monthly/Looking-to-cancel-airtime-on-a-new-contract/m-p/972077#M113012 A chargeable call once every 6 months and a top up every 999 days.
