Moving from Pay Monthly to PAYG

My contract is up in about 2 months, so if I decide to go PAYG can I keep my number? I've had the same number for about 12 years so it is important to me.

    Speak to your mobile disconnections team they should be able to send you a payg sim and port the number onto it

    02 certainly let you,i do it each year(18months) between my redemption deals then port back in. A few companies Vodaphone may be one,where you cannot stay at all.
    Any company will offer you a good deal at the end of your period!
    Persuading you to stay on

    Yes you certainly can , simply phone up your customer service and tell them

    if you want to stay on the same netowrk you on they'll do something called a "number migration" where they simply change the number to a payg chip of the same network

    if you are moving to a different network then they will give you your pac code :)

    It's very simple and you can

    Also , may i suggest if you are moving to pay as you go to rather get a sim-only deal as you can cancel anytime (30 day contract) or buy bundles of payg (better minutes/texts for your phone)

    I know vodafone do "freedom packs" on payg , not sure of other networks

    I hope this helps
