Solved: Balance of £17 used without any use of phone

Maryrose55 · ‎10-12-2022

I have received a phone as a birthday present with the balance of over £17 carried over from my old phone. I haven't used the phone, yet the entire balance has vanished. How can I stop this, please?

If not used for more than 6 months the sim will be deactivated and balance reduced to zero.

You will need to contact O2 to see if it can be reactivated.

If you make a call at least once every 6 months it will be fine.
