Question
i have sold a contract phone but kept the sim and bought another phone there and put my contract sim in it . will the next person e abl to put a pay as u go sim in that phone as im worried because i not to sure what happens .
The person you sold your phone to may be able to use a pay as you go SIM provided it is with the same carrier if the carrier allows it. If it's a different carrier, then absolutely not. Some carriers allow a pay as you go SIM in any of their contract phones and others don't. Call your carrier and ask them. They can tell you for certain. HOpe this helps.
