12 month line advance deals

Hi all,

I'm currently on T-Mobile and am currently assessing my options. I'm looking to move (as I always do @ Xmas) to a new 12-month "line advance" deal, but want to keep my number. I could move to a PAYG sim for a month on o2 and migrate back, but would rather go without the hassle. Has anyone found any good 12 month deals that are not on T-Mobile? I'm looking for off-peak mins + 50 txts/month. Last year I got a 12 month contract from fwdcellular for around £40.

The choice of providers offering these deals seems to be limiting now. If anyone could offer any more web-sites, they'd be gratefully received.

My current list is:
https://www.fwdcellular.com
https://www.talkworldonline.co.uk
https://www.time2talk.co.uk
https://www.e2save.com
https://www.onestopphoneshop.co.uk

Thanks,
Adam

    Not that big a hassle,

    You get your o2 dim.
    Get you PAC code from t-mobile.
    Give it to 02.
    Then b4 the five days pass order the new deal from t-mobile via those sites.
    As an existing cutomer you get it almost immediately
    (leave a couple of days to be sure)

    The number ports to o2. You caan make outgoing calls on your new phone and receive them on your old.

    The next day call up o2 (if your tricky you won't need to put on any credit - we managed it) adnget your PAC code.

    They may try some excuse about your right of return etc - but its rubbish and say the are required under European directive and Oftel rules to give it to you without delay.

    Get it call T-mobile and transfer it back to your new phone.

    Takes 11 working days and you can make and receive calls the whole time (jsut sometimes with the new number for a few days)

    Its worth it.
