tesco i phone 5 help

hi

I was wondering if anyone can help me, I have a pay monthly i phone 5 deal with tesco mobile £45.00 a month I have paid this for 6 months. Stupid I know I am now struggling to pay this. I was wondering if I get a sim only deal from them for £7.50 a month (No credit check I have already checked) they just take payment via card or direct debit and use this to put in my tesco i phone 5 will this work, I know I would get a new number which is fine but I am scared in case it doesnt work cause I wouldnt be using my pay monthly one. Im scared in case they have the ability to lock my phone so it doesnt work on im only deal? I would make a payment plan to pay off monthly pay as you go account

many thanks

jo

    Sorry, I'm confused.

    If you're struggling to pay the £45 how is adding another £7.50 going to help?

    If you mean you intend to stop paying the £45, then yes, they may very blacklist the phone (as well trashing your credit file for none payment).

    Speak to Tesco first of all, if they are feeling nice they may let you downgrade your plan to a slightly cheaper one.

    Blacklisting is highly unlikely.
