Re-activate old contract

[Anonymous]

The contract on my old phone ran out about a year ago ( I upgraded and changed my number/contract ) since then I was using the old phone as a iPod, now my sister wants to use the phone, is there any way to re-activate the phone/contract, can the phone ever be used properly again?

Yes You should be able to insert any O2 SIM card in it wether it be PAYG or contract and use the phone again.

To see if it's unlocked to all networks just try another non uk SIM card.

Your old contract I assume will be dead so your sister will have to choose their own , sim only maybe or use a PAYG.

Edit : spelling.

Hi @Anonymous ,

If mean reactivate the old sim that you had then the answer is no, but your sister can set up her own sim only contract in an O2 store or order it online or you can order a free pay and go sim for her here https://www.o2.co.uk/freesim/

Hope this helps.
