change to sim only contract

[Anonymous]

hi,  i am on a 24 month contract which included a mobile which ends on the 18th April.

I plan to switch to a pay monthly sim only, staying with o2. I believe i have to give 30 days notice to end existing contract. I want to keep my same mobile number, so if i order sim only contract online do they send me a new sim card or just alter billing details and keep sim i've got. I don't want any hassle of changing my number.

Thanks for your replies

Hi.

No You can keep your mobile number.

Just give O2 a call when it's time and they will transfer things across for you.

You'll be able to use the same sim card unless your moving to a new sized sim in which case a swap my sim can be done via the online form after picking up an account specific blank SIM card from any O2 shop or they can do the swap Instore for you.

You don't have to do anything. At the end of your 24 month contract it just becomes a one month rolling contract on the tariff you're on. There's nothing to transfer anywhere, unless you want to change your tariff. The only time you would have to give 30 days notice is if you want to cancel completely.

You're welcome.

Either drop onto a rolling 30 day contract or ask to be put onto a payg account.

You can upgrade back if and when that suits you if you want a new phone.

If you don't want to stay on your current tariff then give them a call and see what's available to you on a sim only contract.

If you plan to use the same phone you don't need to change your sim.

Hi,

my contract was up in March and i didnt upgrade, i have only just realised that my tariff didnt actually change i am still paying the same money as i was before even though the handset is now paid off.

should my tariff have automatically reduced since the balance for the handset was paid off?

thanks!

Your airtime tariff will roll on a 30 day basis until you all O2 to change it.

No, it would only reduce if you requested a change yourself.

You can drop to a sim only tariff which will save you money or go onto PAYG if you wish but if you do nothing it will just continue as it is.
