I needed a mobile for my wife in hospital. I found an old Samsung phone & signed up with iD. Unfortunately, the phone is too old! Solution: swap SIM with my phone which is o2 & is good on the old network till 2025. Problem: I have about £35 of credit on o2. Once she’s out of hospital & I swap my old SIM back, am I better to keep the iD contract unused till I’ve cleared my credit & swap beck & transfer the number, or cancel my iD contract till then & then get a new one?
Solved
Cancel or wait?

Problem resolved: I had about £36 of o2 credit on old Samsung. I used to hardly use my phone for calls, so I thought it would last for weeks, if not months while my free iD calls would be unused. In practice, I had to make a few calls I would normally use my landline for & I used most of it very quickly. When I had to send a text to o2 to move my number over to iD, I nearly couldn’t: after the text, I only had 6 pence on the phone! Talk about cutting it fine. I now have no o2 PAYG & a nice iD contract on my Samsung S23 - very happy.
