O2 pay monthly phone SIM in PAYG phone

Hi

My son has had his phone damaged recently and it has another 9 mths to run on the O2 contract, and no I didn't take out insurance!

So just to keep him contactable until the contract is up, do you know if we bought a cheap O2 pay as you go phone whether we could put the old SIM into that phone?

Many thanks

    Any unlocked phone will do. If you phone o2 and explain the phone is damaged - they might offer you a refurbished phone for a discount price (£60 upwards from my experience once - then again you can buy a cheap phone for less than £20)..
