Transferring to a Pay as a you Go from an O2 tariff on Carphonewarehouse-Advise pls

Rjohnmatt

I have been on a Car phone 12 month cashback tariff for the last 17 months now without cancelling ,mainly due to inertia and have finally got around to cancelling,to convert it to a pay as you go on O2 with the same number.

However called CPW and was told that I would have to pay for a pay as you go sim 5.99 for which they took my credit card details.I have recieved the sim card package in the post , havent opened it yet,but confusingly on the outside it gives a different number.

I would be going for a newer tariff come Christmas, however would like to retain my existing number until then.

Can anyone pls tell me how to hang onto my existing number and have a pay as you go at the same time.
Thanks
John

Send the sim back, £5.99:eek:


You can get an o2 sim for free, you even get paid for receiving one through quidco(£0.40?)

I didn't think that you could port from o2 to o2? :beer:

The sim you receive will always have a number on it, this will be lost when you 'Port' your previous number over.

If you can cancel with CPW then cancel. Get in touch with O2 and ask them to convert your contract to Payg. They usually just do this or send you a sim for you to change over.
