Pay monthly sim start date

[noisenconfusion]

Hi, my contract expires on 8th March. I am happy with my device, so I want to move to a 12 month Pay Monthly Sim.

I was just wondering, if I ordered the sim today, when would the monthly contract start?

Could I wait until 8th March to activate it then the montly payments would begin? Or is it activated as soon as I order?

Thanks

Your current contract wont just end, it will move to a rolling contract. 

If you log into Myo2 you will see your upgrade options including Sim Only, and it would start from the day you upgrade so the 8th March would be when you can change your plan.

If you want a new number then as soon as the sim is dispatched the contract starts, and you need to cancel the current / previous contract full details here Guide: Cancelling Your Contract  or you can migrate your current number to the new contract if you want to Guide: Migration & porting into O2

If you order today, o2 will charge you the amount remaining on your device plan.

Just wait until March 8th and upgrade to a sim only and it will all just switch over seamlessly and on your current sim card. 

No need to do any sim swaps or cancellations or any other messing about.
