Keep a number.

O2 and keep a number

O2 runs a UK mobile network within Virgin Media O2. Device finance and airtime can be distinct responsibilities, which makes the contract summary important.

O2: For a personal bill or device balance, use My O2 or another verified O2 route. A PAC moves a number; it does not settle any separate handset responsibility.

The terms that matter are those attached to your own service. An independent information line cannot view the account or confirm an individual balance, eligibility or coverage outcome.

Questions worth writing down.

Ofcom explains PAC for retaining a UK mobile number and STAC when it is not retained.

• Which document or provider page states the rule for this specific account?
• Does the handset, postcode, destination or start date change the answer?
• What happens after the current term or allowance ends?

Use the verified route.

For a personal bill or device balance, use My O2 or another verified O2 route.

For a change to service, a replacement SIM, a complaint or cancellation, contact O2 through its own verified account or help channel. We can talk through general information without requesting credentials.
