Finishing up with O2, what do I do?

WHIP IT!

My contract with O2 ends this week. I am going to move provider. Do I need to tell them I'm not renewing my contract, ie give them notice? And what do I need to do to 'unlock' my phone so I can switch providers?

Incidentally, any great deals out there right now with Vodafone, Three, Meteor etc? Thanks...

if you're out of contract then there's no need to with o2 unless you're on the 30 day sim plan. port once your contract is over but ir always causes a little less hassle by porting a few days before your bill issue date

Thanks to to both of you, but can you explain what you mean by 'port', please and thank you?

Porting is changing networks while keeping your existing mobile phone number.

Also ring O2 and get the unlock code for your handset from them as sometimes it can take up to ten days for the unlocking code to come through. Have your phone model number and serial number to hand when you ring them up to ask for the unlocking code.

Switched over to this offer from Meteor when my 02 contract ran out.

It's a 30 day bill offer. 200 minutes, 200 texts and 1GB of data for €15.25 a month.

Nope. Honestly! Just think it's a good deal.

Just got off the phone with the automated unlocked number sender... thing!

It said it can take up to 14 days to get the code, I have two days left on my contract so wud I be better off getting it unlocked "elsewhere"?
