Change from sim only deal to contract

[Helen123]

Hi both myself and my daughter are on sim only deals daughter is now looking new phone for her birthday if I was to take out new phone on contract can she keep her old number

Yes just upgrade in My O2 and keep the same sim card.

Would it be more financial for me to take new phone on contract rather than sim only deal for daughter who’s looking new phone for her birthday we are both on sim only at the moment

Your other option is to buy her a new phone outright, but it depends if you can afford to do that.

@Helen123 There are many options you could choose, but only you can decide what would be better financially for you. If you're happy with the phone you have now, you could order a new phone on contract and give it to your daughter, or you could stay on sim only contracts and buy a phone outright sim free. That usually works out better, but only if you can afford to lay out a large amount all at once. The choice is ultimately yours.

The best deals are for sim only and then get her a new phone from Amazon and if necessary you can pay monthly on a credit card or pay cash @Helen123
