new SIM card Monthly to PAYG

[Cuthbert]

Hello, I've upgraded from an iphone 5, so this phone is now sim-less. I'd like to get two O2 PAYG SIMS, one that works in Holland as a Dutch SIM, and one that works in the UK as a UK one. Is that possible? Do I need to go through some unlocking procedure? Thanks for any help you can offer

Hi @Cuthbert 

You would be better off getting the dutch sim when you are over there.

However, all PAYG sims will work anywhere in Europe.

Edited to add, the O2 shops are open now so get the PAYG sims from there.

If your iPhone was bought from O2 and you are using O2 sims in it, it shouldn't need unlocking.

That was quick off the mark

Sorry, I thought it was sufficiently implicit in my question that the iphone contract was with O2 as well, so I wouldn't be switching provider. Perhaps I should have made that clearer. Thanks anyway, that guide may come in handy in some other situation.

We were just jesting. Enjoy your stay abroad.
