My phone has been taken by the police after I was arrested. They say I will get it back in about two weeks. Am I allowed to get a new SIM in the meantime (I have a spare handset) - that will deactivate the SIM in the phone the police have.

You need to ask a lawyer or the police that question. 

 

As technically yes, whether legally you can is another question.   

If they say then the easiest way will be to nip into an o2 shop with ID, and they will be able to do it there and then.

@KFC 

You need to contact O2 customer service as they have a policy in place to deal with such instances.

If you message O2 on Facebook (https://o2uk.co/O2CFB) , Twitter (https://o2uk.co/O2CTW) or Instagram (https://o2uk.co/O2CIG) , they should be able to help you with this.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.
