Old PAYG Go Go and Classic PAYG. What's the catch?

I just transferred from an old PAYG phone to a new iphone and the tariffs are very high compared to the Classic PAYG deal. I think I can move on to the Classic. Is there a catch as it seems like a no brainer not to.

@Calculad you can change your tariff once per month in your MyO2 http://www.o2.co.uk/myo2 with no catches. 

The different tariffs suit different people depending on usage.

Thanks for the replies. I don’t use the phone much.

 

Is there a time limit such that the phone credit expires or sim dies?

 

I looked at T&C but can’t see any mention of this.It doesn't seem to make any sense to stay with my old PAYG when Calls are 35p a minute, texts are 15p and data is £3 per Mb.

 

On Classic PAYG it's 3p a minute for calls, texts 2p and data £1 per Mb

 

Unless there is some disadvantage I'm not being told about buried in T&Cs.

 

 

Sorry to go on and be cynical but it's not like phone companies to reduce prices.

I have been caught out so many times with what looks like a better deal to later find out a dreaded catch.

@Calculad all you need to do is send a text, use some data or make a call at least once every 6 months and top up every 999 days, there's no catch, honestly.
