Avoiding O2 Number Deactivation

stingrayfunk · ‎08-01-2024

I'm traveling abroad, using different eSIMs, but I want to keep my O2 pay-as-you-go. I don't want to lose my UK number and return to the UK in a year. How often do I need to top-up my O2 PAYG account to avoid the number being permanently deactivated? I'm not using my UK SIM whilst abroad. If anyone has info on this, it'd be very much appreciated, thanks!

Much discussion about this but you need to make a chargeable call at least once every 6 months and also top up at least once every 6 months.
