PAYG £5 'Big Bundle'

[LM1]

Hi. I hope that someone can clarify for me as I can't afford to make any mistakes with this and leave my elderly uncle without a working phone (he has no internet etc)! He's currently on a classic payg but needs to phone the doctors/hospital quite regularly now so is burning loads of money doing that. I've just seen the £5 Big Bundle and think that he'd be far better off switching to that but I'm unable to visit him to deal with any sim swaps etc. I see on his account that when I select the Big Bundle it says it will take effect straight away, so does that definitely mean that a new sim wouldn't be required? Also, I presume that his calls to voicemail would then be included, would they? I can't see that in the t&cs. 

Thanks for any help!

He wouldn't need a new sim.

If he goes for the £5 Big Bundle there is NO data included with that, just unlimited texts and calls. If he needs data then he would need the £10 BB.

All explained here.

If he is already with O2, he just needs to text

• BIGBUNDLE5 for the £5 tariff
• 10DATABB for the £10 tariff
• 15DATABB for the £15 tariff
• 30DATABB for the £30 tariff

Hope that helps and welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the reply @Cleoriff 

Yes, I realise there's no data thanks. He doesn't need anything as 'new fangled' as that...
