Hi sorry if caused confusion, I took at my 3 phone contract 2 years ago which is the one I use, I later took out a contract on 02 for my husband as got offered a great deal on the network since then I've added 5 family members to my account on 02 totalling 6 phones with 02, my contract with network 3 is ending this month and I wanted to join 02 myself and get Hansen with them x

So one phone only with Three .....and five other phones with O2?

If this is the case you will still need to check with O2 customer services as to whether you will be allowed to add another making a total of seven phones under one contract name. ...

Why can't your husband have his own contract? This seems a far simpler way of doing things. If you have 7 contracts in your name that is a lot of responsibilty to ensure no-one defaults.......#just saying

Edited to add apologies for the gap at the end of my post...it's a coding issue I believe...

6 lines on O2 and none of them are yours... jeez. Can none of your family get contracts in their own names like? You really do need to speak with O2 and see if they will add yet another line. But within 2 years you've taken out 7 mobiles, this surely raises alarm bells.

It really shouldn't raise any alarm bells if @Anonymous has made payments in a timely fashion (which she states she has). My only issues were ...

1) Whether O2 would allow another one contract considering she has five already...

2) I mentioned (without knowing circumstances) whether it would be easier to share contract responsibility with another family member....
