Going to sim only early

[Rob1845]

Hi, hope you can help?

I am currently in my contract which runs out in September. Is it literally just a case of paying off my device and then going on sim only?

My current airtime is 8GB at £21 per month where as sim only is 20g for £15 per month so seems a no brainer to me!

However, Uswitch are offering 9GB for £10 a month but I presume would not be able to do that until September?

Thanks for any help

Once you pay off your device plan you can upgrade anywhere without penalty.

You are corredt that you need to pay off the device before you can then go to sim only

@Rob1845 At the moment, O2 are offering 100GB for £20/month on a 12 month sim only tariff. That offer ends 13 May.

Hi, thanks for your replies. This seems straightforward!

So in the case of uswitch, as I don’t need 20gb especially now working from home due to covid, I do not need a new sim?

With my airtime contract also not running out until September I assume I won’t have to pay a penalty? Again I’m assuming not due to o2 refresh?

Apologies if basic questions but want to be sure before I do anything!

Thanks again

@Rob1845 If you pay off your device you can cancel your current air time at any time with no penalty.

Brill, everything seems straightforward. Wish I did it months ago!

Thanks for all your replies🙂

No problem and good luck. Stay safe @Rob1845

One more question - I’m assuming going from 8GB to 9GB is classed as an upgrade?!?

I’m going from uswitch but I get as far as checking out which is in blue but when I press it goes grey but doesn’t go further🤔

I have been tried a couple times this afternoon but keep hitting the same brick wall.

Any ideas?

Thanks

If you go through U Switch it will be a new contract so you'll need to call O2 to migrate your number and cancel the old O2 contract.
