Do I need to cancel my PAYG sim?
Options
I've had an Orange PAYG sim (not on a contract, just top-up) for a few years now.
In a couple of months, I will be travelling back to Australia and want to know if I need to cancel my sim or just never use it anymore.
I was hoping that I might be able to use whatever credit is left to text my family and stuff whilst travelling and then bin it when the credit runs out.
I guess Orange have some of my details from when I bought the sim. Do I need to contact them and cancel my sim?

I'm not up on mobiles, but I've got one of these too. The SIM was free, and I put around 5 quid on it per year. When finished with it, I was just planning to destroy it. Cannot think of any reason why this wouldn't work, but I'd be interested to know if there isMarching On Together

Just bin it when you have finished with it. After about 6 months or so of non-use Orange may get around to reissuing the number to someone else.0
