extra phone number

peterblach — Tue, 20 Aug 2024 07:52:10 GMT

I have been an O2 customer for a while. My son is thinking of changing to O2. Is there a deal for me to get a second number attached to my account or will it cost the same for him to set up his own account?

Check for deals on USwitch @peterblach as they tend to have the best sim only prices.

Also remove your number from this public community - edit your post by clicking the little arrow in the top right.

@peterblach

Be aware, if your son decides to take out his own contract, he will have to be credit checked etc.

As will the Op, all new connections either as a new or existing customer get credit checked now... @Cleoriff there is now way to avoid them 😞

Not sure when they started that @madasaf1sh?
I upgraded my sim only contract on the 1st August and was accepted immediately.

No change to previous sim only upgrades.

@Cleoriff They do a soft check on upgrading SIM only. Full if taking out a new handset.

@EnlliThe last time I bought a phone from O2 was 2012. Since then I've bought outright and been sim only.

This 'upgrade' was £5.00 less than existing, so yes, maybe soft check but not noticed by me. 😂
