My wife has an O2 PAYG phone she looks longingly at people with nice pink flippy phones, If I buy her one from santa that's O2 PAYG, can I just put here old O2 sim in it so she can retain her number:o

any advice appreciated.

Oh and if anyone knows any good offers on pink flippy O2 phones that would be nice too :T :T :T
I am trying, honest;) very trying according to my dear OH:rotfl:

    Yes that will work ok.

    But it sounds far too extravagant, she'll then see someone with a white one and want one for her birthday.

    That would be fine; you get the phone with a new SIM and use the old one

    But there's a better option, which I haven't done myself so can't remember the details - a scheme whereby you can get the number and a few quid bonus credit transferred on to the new SIM

    Maybe someone who has done this will post some more info, or I'll try and look up something this evening, as there are some old threads on here about it. Or try a search yourself ...
