D.R.O. - Mobile Contracts

Doucam

I was allowed to keep my phone on O2 as I need to be contactable at all times by my sons school as he has special needs and it was fine with the OR and O2 never cancelled it either.

I wonder if this is a new thing with them as this seems to be happening a lot recently yet I remember when I went BR people were saying they were allowed to keep their contracts by O2 and the suchlike.

eta: I know you can payg deals but I had one of them and it cost me as much as my monthly contract because all of the calls I needed to make.

Did you have to buy a new sim card, or just transferred to PAYG?

I may have to do the same (BR last week, OR interview in 20 minutes!), currently have two contracts in my name: O2 and Orange.

Yes you have to buy a PAYG sim (i got mine for 99p at a local shop) and there was no down time.

PAYG can be a pain in the butt if you use it constantly. I'd get a SIM for now to save the number, but then look into a SIM only contract, if they are under 500 quid you are sorted. Most are and if you have a decent phone it works out a lot cheaper than a phone plus SIM package anyway... Only issue is you have to get the phone unlocked to accept any network.

£15 a month 300 anytime minutes and unlimited texts - all on O2 PAYG - not much difference in truth.:rotfl:
