Want to change from Pay Monthly to Pay as You go

[Anonymous]

My pay monthly contract is due for renewal 1st Aug.  Have just bought an android phone privately and wish to change to Pay as You Go and keep my number.  How do I go about this

I'm still on an O2 tariff, mainly because it's an old legacy one and I still have unlimited web, but I know I'm paying more than I would be on GiffGaff. I think I will eventually shift over to there, as when I do ever decide to upgrade my phone it will be sim free anyway. I think what I might do is get a £10 goodybag for a month and see how the coverage is before I port my number over. As you say, my coverage could be better or worse than yours, depending on where we are located and the type of phone we have.

Hi,

If you ever decide to leave 02 then i want your unlimited web data package please !

I'm sorry to say that I don't think it would be transferrable. If I could, I would. 

The GiffGaff goodybags from £12 and up are all unlimited. As they run on the O2 network I don't see why the coverage should be any worse?

Spoil sport !   

I know they shouldn't be different but they are.

Probably the GiffGaff Network getting saturated with people online, and some being naughty by connecting devices {my own personel opinion }

Anyway apologies to the OP for hijacking their thread.

It's only a partial hijack as we are talking about an alternative to Pay Monthly.
