mobile phone blacklisting

Hi,

I hope someone can help me. I am currently in around 10k worth of debt and am in the process of going through a DRO. One suggestion to cutting my bills was to swtich to a sim only plan for my mobile. Now i only have the one handset, a samsung galaxy s7, which is on contract with 02 for £50 a month. I was advised to get a SIM only and add the debt for 02 to my DRO. My question is would 02 blacklist my handest with my IMEI number? I have been in contract with them since the start of march this year and so far no missed payments.

Thanks

    If you default on the contract then yes quite possibly.

    This is a premium rate number.

    Better to use 0344 809 0202

    you need to contact O2 24 hour helpline 0844 453 ****. These phone number will actually help you to get advice from O2 Customer support team regarding O2 Contracts of phone and mobile

    The quoted 0844 number is a "call connection service". This is operated by a third-party and simply forwards calls and charges the caller a premium rate (up to 62p per minute) to do so.

    Get the correct telephone number for O2 from their official website and avoid the premium rate call charges. You'll find 0344 809 0202 I believe.

    To be clear, the 0844 number is a scam.
