Getting an iPhone... pac code question

vaderag

I've decided that I'm getting an iPhone. I'm currently on an o2 contract, so I know that it would be as simple as walking into the shop, or phoning up, and they'll upgrade me.
However, Quidco do £45 cashback when ordering through their website. It says on their site that you can't do this for upgrades...

What i'm wondering is if i get at PAC code from o2, put it in on the Carphone Warehouse site and order as usual, will that work? Or am i just going to create millions of problems for myself that far out weigh the £45!?

Thanks in advance for any help

You can't use a PAC with the same network. You would have to use it to move to PAYG on another network then port back to O2 again.

You can't use a PAC to move to the same network. In order to get the CPW cashback you'll have to port to a different network and then port back again.

That isn't entirely true actually, beacause I moved from PAYG to Contract on o2 using a PAC code (even tho o2 and dial-a-phone both told me that I couldnt!).
My original plan was to do the whole switching to an orange PAYG and back again, but i didn't actually need to!

However, it may be the case when moving from contract to contract...

convert to o2 payg then back to contract, ive done it ( was 4 years ago tho ) doubt o2 let you though as to get cashback you will need to port out & back in - so tell o2 retentions your looking for a £50 sweetner or taking your business to Orange on a HTC HD, or Blackberry Storm with Voda - they are both touchscreen I-plod competitive handsets & Exclusive to other 2 nets just now
