You don't have to use the handset supplied with a contract.
Provided your handset is unlocked (or you use the same network you are now on payg) you should be able to put the new SIM in and keep using your handset.
You then could sell the new one.0 -
There are two options for getting a contract without a handset.
One is to go SIM only. Most networks offer these and will give you a good set of included items that is usually better than if you take a contract. They will also let you add internet packages, although T-Mobile, 3 and O2 seem to offer the better net packages of the five companies.
The other is to take a contract and the companies will some times offer you a cash payment in liu of a handset. I got offered £100 for a 12 month contract with O2, but the SIM packages are effectively £10 cheaper than their respective 12-month counter-parts, so it saves me £120 over the year.*I reserve the right to have an opinion, the right to change this opinion and the right to be wrong.*Hope that helps.
