I ported into Virgin mobile today (number went active). How soon can I port the number out again?

    From recent experience, in 7 days!

    I always leave a few days (4 or 5) between the number successfully porting into Virgin before I ring for the PAC number - done this twice recently for Orange -> Virgin -> Orange and been given PACs straight away when I called, even though the original ORG PAC is still not expired.

    You can give them a call today if you want, if you do give them a call now, then let us know what they say.

    I actually called Voda on the day number was ported. The guy went to lookup into the system. Then came back "You just transferred and the system is not allowing new PAC right now"

    Had to call next morning and it went fine.

    I heard a rumor about 3 that they dont allow switching back, if you recently finished your contract. Tell us if it goes fine....

    Just called Virgin and asked for a PAC, got a text after a few minutes. Called up Three and gave them the number to port in and the PAC and they said the port will complete in seven days time.
