If you are on a simo contract you can buy any O2 or unlocked handset and use your sim card in it.

Just make sure that if your new phone has a sim different to your old one ie: micro sim to nano sim then you will need to do a sim swap to transfer your number & tariff to the new sim.

They will do this instore for you or you can do it yourself online

It can take anything from a few minutes upto,24 hours for the swap to complete, keep rebooting your phone every so often to see if your new sim has signal

Yes you can and no it won't change your contract at all.
