DRO phone contract

magpiemad7

My application for my DRO was accepted and O2 is on the list. I haven't PAYG and transferred my number. I could no longer afford the airtime and device plan each month. Will o2 blacklist my handset or can I continue to use it through PAYG because I won't be paying the final bill due to being due to changes in my circumstances/being on a DRO.

Just use another SIM card in it you will be fine, handsets are not blacklisted, SIM cards are locked out, that's all.

so they do not block the IMEI

Network operators do blacklist imei of handsets now for non payment of bills, they never used to, but people were getting phone contracts/upgrades, selling the phone and not paying the bill, I know EE do it, I'm not sure about o2
