PAUSING JUST THE AIRTIME BILL?

[Louungi]

So I have an O2 pay monthly contract, but I pay my airtime bill, and my device bill separately - (for example, one payment of £28 a month for the device and then one payment of £25 a month for the airtime (minutes, data, texts))- I am moving abroad for a year and was wondering if I could pause JUST the airtime bill? So I'd like to keep my phone, and pay the device bill every month as normal, but as I am going to be in Korea, I will not be able to use my data/texts/minutes and would therefore like to suspend these payments (JUST the airtime payments) until I return back to the UK.
OR is there anyway I can use my O2 minutes/data/texts whilst I am in Korea?
As I will be working there, I will need a Korean phone number; so I wanted to pause my UK airtime bill but carry on paying for the device VIA O2 and then use a Korean SIM card in my current phone- whilst still paying off my device plan each month to O2- would this be possible?

@Louungi You can't pause the air time charges. You can buy an international bolt-on that will work in South Korea.

Hi @Louungi , hope you got all the information you needed on what's possible with your contract but do come back to ask if you have any additional questions. Hope you have a wonderful year abroad!
