Hi all
sure this is a numpty question but I know nowt about mobile phones.
I am currently with Virgin (PAYG) and am thinking of switching to O2. My phone was unlocked when I bought it - do I still need to get a PAC or can I just get a sim from O2, whack it in the phone and off I go ?
Also any feedback on O2 would be most appreciated - especially customer service, reliability and coverage.
thanks in advance

You only need a PAC if you want to keep your number.
O2 are probably the best for network coverage, I use O2 for PAYG but have never needed to speak to customer services so can't comment.0 -
