Combining contracts

Hopfully someone here can help me.
I have a contract with EE, due for upgrade now, and a second with Virgin, due in December 2020. 
The virgin contract is one previously setup for my son. He managed to destroy the phone and his mother went out and signed up to other with an other network. So I am left paying this one monthly, but with no phone anyway.
The EE contract is my personal one.
I would love to know if there is some way of combining the two in some way to give me the best/most I can get out of it.
Should I just pay off the Virgin contract and move on, or is there some way I can get some benefit from this situation?
Cheers
Simon

    or a dual sim phone. 
    If you wanted to pay it off what you could do is Text Virgin for a Pac code they will send the pac with-in minutes and it will also have the final bill if its to much to pay just don't use the pac and it will just stay normal.
    Pac codes last 30 days and if you don't use it with-in that time the contract will continue 
    if you do use the pac to send the number over to another network your contract will finish automatally once the number goes over.
    Just get a free payg sim from another provider and send the virgin number to them you don't have to use it its just to get shot of the number if you don't want it also if you do it that way you don't have to talk to anyone.

    Text 'PAC' to 65075 – and keep your mobile number
