Getting PAC before contract has ended

I am currently receiving lots of calls from 3 offering great deals (they aint that great)

I am wondering if I can call them up, get a PAC and then buy my way to the end of the contract. Its only £10 per month and there is only 2 months left so I don't mind paying. Question is, are they like to let me.

Alternatively, if they do not and I take a new contract out now can I call them up in two months with my PAC and get my number changed two months into the contract? I quite like keeping the same number, I've only ever had 2 numbers in the 9 years I've owned a mobile.

    Just phone them up and speak to cancellations, they will probably ask you to write to them with a reference they give over the phone. Alternatively (as a first stab) send them email to ask for pac code and early cancellation.

    Also be aware of some callers claiming to be from 3 and are really not 3 themselves (usually some company who knows you are approaching end of contract and trying to sell you a new contract).
