Can anyone tell me if I cancel my contract with orange (12 months will be up on 5 Dec) can I carry my phone number over to O2 pay as you go? thanks.

probably not. you could easily switch to Orange PAYG, but as you want to cross netorks, more complicated.

saying that tho, o2 will help you if you wanted to switch to their Contract.

thanks, I have totally had it with orange so will probably have to change number! even though I have had this one for years!

Yes you can, just tell them you want to port the number.They will give you a porting Code (PAC),and you then give this to O2 payg Customer Service before you top up your new O2 Sim Card,and they will arange transfer.

if you don't mind payinga bit just ring up and change to OVP Business with Orange then ask for yor PAC the day after, you'll probably owe £14 for the final month or so but if you want to escape quickly might be worth the cost(plus if you've paid this months bill already you'll be in a bit of credit towards your outstanding bill)

Do any of the networks change for giving/using a PAC code?

I'm wanting to change from a 3 contract to O2 PAYG and i'm hoping that both 3 won't charge to give a PAC and O2 won't charge for it to be used.

Am I correct in thinking this?

Normally they dont charge.The only outfit that i know that does is T-Plus who charge £20 if you want to leave them,and take your number.
