Hi,

If you dont do anything you will move onto a 30 day rolling contract.

So....

Contact 02 on 202 from your mobile to request that your account be moved onto a Payg term.

You can do this when your contact is up 30days prior to the end date..

You are very welcome.

When you contact them they may want to put you through to retentions to tempt you to stay on a contract by offering a better tariff or handset upgrade.

Stay steadfast if its a payg term you really want 

They will go through all the procedures of any phone setting changes and when your final bill will be due.

I don't use my mobile as much these days and I am a texter rather than a talker so feel pay monthly is a waste of money, that is why I want to PAYG.  

I can do steadfast!!!!       Will be ringing them tomorrow

Fair enough.

If you haven't already maybe it's time to look at payg tariffs.

I have looked at the PAYG again though not sure which one would suit me best.

Their are quite a few to choose from.

Click on my previous link and it will show you what is included in each option and the monthly cost.

You should take a look at GiffGaff. The goodybags give you a lot more bang for your buck, and you would still be on the O2 network, if you're happy with the coverage you get. If you did want to switch you would have to make sure your phone was unlocked and you would still have to port your number, if you wanted to keep it, even though it's the same network.

I too have been tempted with GiffGaffs £12 goody bag.

Issue is both my daughter , her friend, my sons girlfriend and a colleague all suffer from lag on their giffgaff Internet.

They all live in close proximity to me and when they are lagging on their phone ,and I'm using mine to access the same page mine is much faster.

All in 3G full signal.

I Know there lots of parameters we can talk about ref hardware etc, but I'll be sticking to ,in my situation, a stable connection.
