International Minutes

When you choose one of O2’s Pay As You Go plans from £15, you’ll get an inclusive allowance of international minutes for calling 42 countries:

  • You’ll get 50 international minutes on the £15 Big Bundle and £20 Big Bundle.
  • You’ll get 100 international minutes on the £15 Rolling Plan and £20 Rolling Plan.
  • You’ll get 250 international minutes on the £30 Big Bundle.
  • You’ll get 500 international minutes on the £30 Rolling Plan.

The inclusive international minutes can be useful for staying in touch with friends and family who are abroad. You’ll also benefit from discounted international calls from 1p/minute when you choose a Pay As You Go plan costing £15 per month or more.

Extra Data & Easy Payments On Rolling Plans

There are two main benefits when you choose an rolling plan instead of a Big Bundle:

  • You’ll get more data for your money. For instance, the £10 rolling plan comes with 20GB data per month for 3 months. This compares the £10 Big Bundle which comes with 14GB data per month for 3 months.
  • You’ll benefit from easy monthly payments. With rolling plans, you can have your credit card or debit card details saved on your O2 account. You’ll then benefit from automatic monthly top-ups to pay for your rolling plan (it’s the same way you’d pay for subscriptions like Netflix or Amazon Prime).

Keeping Your Phone Number

When you switch to O2’s Pay As You Go service, it’s easy to keep your current phone number.

Start off by ordering your new O2 Pay As You Go SIM card. Once you’ve done that, you can request a PAC Code from your old network. You can do this by texting PAC to 65075. Alternatively, you can request a PAC through your mobile network’s website or app.

Once your SIM card has arrived in the post, you can provide the PAC Code to O2 through this page on their website. Once you’ve done that, your phone number transfer will be scheduled (normally for the next working day).

For a step-by-step guide on how to move your phone number to O2, please select your current mobile network from the drop down menu below:
