Sorry for your loss.

If she had auto top up enabled, you need to cancel this either with O2 or in her MyO2.

Then chuck the sim away and it will deactivate after 6 months.

Factory reset the phone and you can then give it away.

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.

Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)
