How long before you're classed as a NEW Customer?

Southpaw

Hi

I have a question.

If you leave a service provider e.g Vodaphone or Orange get your PAC go to a different provider on PAYG then transfer your number back onto original provider how long must the gap be?

A month? Or more?

Or can it not be done?

Also what if you were to go PAYG with the same providor would you be classed as a new customer if you wanted to go back on a contract?

Ive cancelled contracts with o2 and then gone down the Carphone warehouse on my last contracted day and started a new o2 contract, same with PAYG.

o2,Virgin & Vodafone will realise and probably reuse your old account number ,though of course you will benefit from new customer deals,the others will start up a new account-from my own experience,the worlds your oyster!
