My mobile contract which I had cancelled over a year ago, suddenly started working again.
I have had the contract for about 7 years then cancelled it and moved on to a diff network. DIRECT DEBITS stopped and that was that. Now the phone is working after 16 months of cancellation.
Are there any implications or shall I just leave it till anything comes of it? What would you do?

Do you mean incoming or outgoing? A lot of phones will receive calls for long after a contract expires.
In fact PAYG sims will normally receive calls and text without you ever putting a penny of credit on. |

I'd call the provider to cover yourself.
Payg sims will expire after 12 months of no topups |

Worst case would be those highly expensive scam texts or reverse charged calls coming.
It's usually not easy to contact the mobile operators at the best of times, but I think it's worth it in this instance. Perhaps the number should have been allocated to a different account, and it's remained on that one, which had been dormant and got reactivated in error - who knows! I'd probably send the network an email, at the least. Stranger still, is the random chance that you happened to notice, after all this time - maybe very lucky that you did. |

Yep, i received one of those dodgy text massages about insurance claims saying blah blaa and to text stop if not interested so i did, thinking it wouldnt go through anyway. Surprise surprise, the text went through!!
I tried my current mobile number and it went through. Texts and calls worked.  |

What happens if you get slapped with a hefty bill?
