O2 Contract iPhone 3GS with PAYG SIM?

Hiya,

I have an iPhone 3GS on contract with O2.

The phone has been disconnected from
the network due to non - payment of the bill (am seeking advice re debts from National Debtline).

My question is, is it possible for me to use an O2 PAYG SIM in the iPhone, either while it's disconnected from the network or even if (as may be able to pay off bill next week) the phone is reconnected by O2?

If so, am I right in thinking that the best deal PAYG O2 SIM to get would be the £10 per month text and web from the O2 site? Is the 'web bolt on' then needed, making it £15 a month?

Am trying to sort my debts, but can not afford to keep up the contract, and as I need a PAYG phone anyway, it doesn't make sense to go
and buy another handset (which I can ill afford), seeing as I have the iPhone handset already which I'd like to hold onto if possible!

Any ideas folks, if a PAYG sim would work?

Many Thanks,

Leigh x
