All networks will deactivate PAYG sims if not used, just be aware.

O2 is 6 months, others only 3, so check your T&C's carefully.

Whether you can get the number back is totally dependent on how long it has been deactivated

Thank you for the replies, never had any Issues with o2 but decided to go with Asda Mobile & get a new number.

  • £4 & £5 bundles & also cheaper standard Call & Text rates so it's cheaper for a very light user.
  • 270 days of no Top Up; 180 days + a warning text & then 90 days in restricted mode in which to call them & reactivate.
