Hi,
I am on t-mobile contract which is ending soon, I am after a better deal but TM aren't offering much. I have found a better deal but it is on t-mobile with dialaphone. Can I request a PAC code, use that number on a PAYG account then get another PAC code and switch back toTM with Dialaphone?

    I don't think you can do it on the same network, however I might be wrong

    Hi,
    I have a separate O2 PAYG sim card, I am pretty sure you can't pac to another t-mobile PAYG or Contract account.

    have you tried getting a pac from tmobile and they may offer you the deal you want if they think you are leaving them:confused:

    You can't go from a contract to another contract with your pac (its called a backdoor upgrade and the networks don't allow them). You'd need to go to a payg acc, on any network, and then back. A right pain I know, but it works.
