Once your device is paid off you can switch to a cheaper SIM only tariff and continue to use your original phone

Switch to 20gb for £18.00 now and save yourself £22.00 a month.

You were probably on a 3Gb + 9Gb "bonus" data tariff.
The extra only applied to your minimum term, which has now ended and so has your extra data.
Did you sign up via a 3rd party (carphone warehouse, mobiles.co.uk, etc)?

@James2985 If this is an issue with your account you'll need to speak to customer service. We are all customers here. I suggest you call on 202 from your mobile. Don't use Live Chat for this. You might have a wait on hold at this time of day. Best time to call is 8-8.30 am to hopefully avoid that.

  1. We're you on an O2 refresh?
  2. Did you have a data bolt-on that tripled your data for the duration of the contract for free?

1 means you should be paying only the Airtime part of your bill, as device plan is Zero.

 

2 means you are on a combined tariff, that rolls over, with no "free" bolt-on as contract period is ended. 

 

Either way, move as suggested by @MI5

^^^ That exactly

As said, you need to go sim only for a better tariff and data.
