PAC number for PAYG Sim card

[Anonymous]

Dear all, just one quick question related with payg sim card:

Is there any time limit to keep the sim card in o2 network before I transfer my o2 number to the other network?

thanks.

the reason for this question is as follows. I bought an o2 payg sim card in the local shop (99p) today. I insert it to my phone (Nokia 105, not smart phone) to have a try. After that I found when I insert this sim card to other phones, the other phone will not reconige the o2 sim card. Then I checked o2 website, it is something called the sim card is locked with the phone which is first used. I am thinking if it is possiable for me to transfer network from and keep this number and therefore I can use my other phone by keeping this number.

Many thanks

Try a different sim in your Note to see if it's a problem with the phone.

Assume the number is of some value given you've used it yet. You will have to top up and make a few calls buy after that o2 should give you the Pac. Ps the Pac only lasts 30days so keep that in mind. Cheers.
