Very quick q: change from contract to SIM Only

;)If I'm making a change from Vodafone contract to a cheaper sim-only deal while I decide which new phone to get elsewhere, do I actually need a new SIM card to be posted to me - or can they do it remotely? Am currently overseas so wouldn't get new SIM for three weeks at least.

Apologies if this question makes me sound like an idiot. xx ;)

  • If you arrange it through Vodafone, i.e. when its upgrade time, they'll switch you onto the new deal with your same number. If you cancel old contract and start new, sim-only one then it will effectively be starting a new contract. Have you spoken to them - they may give you a better sim-only deal than you'd get directly from the website. They may not, mind...
  • Thanks JW. That's useful to know. I just want a rolling 30 day that I can cancel in 2011. Voda aren't my favourite people hence wanting to move in the New Year. Today is my upgrade day and I am dreading making the call as they tell me something completely different every time and regularly fib about things, so I always feel like I have to be completely on the ball about every aspect of their contracts before ringing.
