Changing from O2 contract to sim only (quidco)

blondie21

My 24 month contract with 02 is at a end and I want to change to a sim only contract. Can I do this online ( via quidco ) and still keep my existing number . Quidco are giving £50 back at the minute. Can it be done ? How ?

You'd have to port to a different network and then back to O2 to go through Quidco. Alternatively, you can just switch to SIM only using your current SIM by contacting O2.

Yeah , I thought so - £50 would have been great to a poor student !!!!!! Rage !!!

AFAIK O2 do internal transfers easily.

They definitely transfer from an old PAYG to a new contract: http://service.o2.co.uk/IQ/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=Companion,Ts=Webforms,T=PreToPost

However, reportedly they don't mind transferring from an old contract either.

I wouldn't lose any sleep over "Quidco" giving you £50; they make lots of promises on behalf of the merchants who then fail to pay with Quidco denying all responsibilty.

Why 'rage'? You've just been advised how to get your £50. Port it out to another PAYG network and then straight back again to o2.
