Going abroad

[Anonymous]

Hello, I will be moving to Australia from Feburary and wondering how I cancel my monthly contract? I would like to keep my current number and use pay as you go.

Thanks

As the OP has not asked for any unlocking advice we should, as instructed by Toby, stick to the questions been asked to avoid confusion and unnecessary irrelevant posts...

If you haven't already done so, it's worth seeing if you're handset is unlocked before you go! 

My brother went 18 months ago, and had a bit of trouble trying to unlock his, from over there!

That has been mentioned before and we understand it is practically impossible to unlock once abroad...:smileysad:

Didn't see that bit in this thread?

Oh I didn't mean this thread @Anonymous  A completely different thread some weeks back.  Just confirming it had been mentioned that there were difficulties doing whilst abroad....In fact if I remember correctly that particular poster was stuck with a phone they could not unlock.....:smileysad:

Hi @Anonymous ,

Make sure you do the number transfer to Pay and go before you leave the country and Top up to activate the number, if you do it from abroad it will fail. About the phone unlocking you dont need to do it to use the pay and go number but if you think you may buy an Australian sim card to use there then unlock it before you go.

Hope this helps

No problem, but we should have asked first.

Some people can be overwhelmed with advice whereas other want loads
