Hello!

 

As title states I have been given to chance to move and/or work in Vancouver Canada for currently an unspecific amount of time, could be 2 months could be 1 year or more.

 

I have a Pay Monthly contract (Unlimited Plus) which gets me roaming usage in Canada already but I'd like to know how long would I be able to keep paying the monthly bill and keep my number as I'll need it for various accounts and security I have setup for UK services.

 

Also, If I am allowed to keep the contract/number would I be limited in the services I am paying for or have to follow any strict rules in order to keep this number, preferably without moving to PAYG.  Yes I will be getting a Canadian number during my say for work however a lot of the UK services I have setup will not accept a Canadian number.

 

Thank you,

Courtney

Just continue to pay your bill and you will be fine.

I would suggest that you avoid using your O2 sim for large amounts of data to avoid any fair use issues, but otherwise there's no restrictions.

Thank you so much for your reply!

 

Probably won't be able to answer this question but I understand that my Unlimited plan could never be used completely abroad but in the non Europe zones is there like a 30GB monthly cap setup of some sorts. I have looked in my Terms of Service but could not find anything with a direct answer to my question.

 

Thanks again for your swift response!

Much Appreciated, Courtney

There's no limit on data use but the speed is capped to 2mbps so only useful for emails and messaging. Any attempt to stream would be frustrating.
