Moving aborad O2 refresh

[cassie]

Hello,

I am currently on an O2 refresh contract. There is atleast year left on the contract, however in less than 6 months (current global situation permitting), I will be moving to Sweden.

I am happy to pay off the device etc., but is there anyway to keep my contract and live abroad? My phone is locked (obviously I could just unlock it), but I was hoping to keep the number I have had for about 10 years. I understand I could just get a new contract in Sweden and switch my O2 to PAYG to retain the number for if I move back, but is there any way at all I could keep my O2 contract running? 

TIA

As long as you're happy to pay for it, your airtime will continue on a monthly basis after the device is paid off Guide: How does O2 Refresh work?

Only by keep paying the airtime after you go but there is a time limit on how long you are out of the country.
