Moving abroad but would like to keep my O2 Sim - advice please!

[AliceBert97]

Hi all! I have been an O2 customer ever since I got my first phone when I was 12 - always been happy with the service.

I have recently moved to Italy and have had to get a different Sim, but this is an E-SIM so I am able to also keep my current O2 SIM and number. I still have family and friends in the UK and I don't want my number to change. Plus, I'll be using this SIM when I visit home.

I'm not sure what to do - I don't need to pay for as much data, will I be allowed to stay on O2 even if I'm not living in the UK?

You can only use the O2 sim abroad for a maximum of 63 days in any 4 month period before incurring extra charges or being cut off.

The intention is for temporary use abroad, not full time.

If you come back to the UK every 4 months, you'll be fine, but otherwise it won't work for you I'm afraid.
