    As everyone has said you are contractually bound by being on OVP to pay for any calls made, it is not seen as a PAYG deal, it's a contract with zero monthly line rental. Therefore if you did not call to cancel it is still your liability.

    Until recently my wife had the same orange contract.

    No calls = no bill, But you could use it as much as you want. I presume the phone/sim is just popped into a draw
    and can be used at any time.

    Have to find it out & destroy the sim or cancel the account.

    Thanks for the reminder.

    Far better to put a sim lock on it and keep it for emergencies, in my opinion. It costs nothing and if you decide to move to Voda, O2 or any other network in the future, you still have a vehicle for Orange Wednesdays ! :j
