Complicated PAC move, possible?
I signed up to a contract with O2 for my son who now tells me that the number of texts is too low (minutes too high, of course). Since it is a Casback deal I don't want to mess with that but in reality he would probably be better off with an O2 PAYG.
Am I correct in assuming that if a PAC was requested from O2 to another provider or O2 (or back to O2 PAYG via teh other network) then that would invalidate the contract? I would be quite happy to complete the contract myself but neither of us wish to lose our numbers??
Would O2 co-operate in this?
Alternatively, are there bundles to add on to Pay Monthly accounts (currently on 200 mins & 100 texts).
Thanks - head spinning now.....

I am sure they would provide the PAC if the line rental for the rest of the contract is paid. You would probably be ineligible for cashback though...?0

If you have gone for a cashback deal, you can't reduce/cancel or request a PAC code until your 12 month contract has finished otherwise you will be invalidating your cashback claim. If you want extra texts on the o2 200 tariff you can ad a text bolt-on, which will be ok with your cashback claim.
