Porting a number from 3 to O2 Sim Only

Options
Hi,

My boyfriend is currently on 3 but looking for a new contract as his is nearly up. He's interested in the 02 Online 100 Sim Only Pay Monthly contract as he doesn't need a new phone - but he does want to keep his number if he can.

Would it be possible to port his number from 3 to a Sim Only O2 contract and if so, how?!

Thanks!

    Yes. Get him to ring 3 when he is at the start of his final month of contact and ask for his PAC code. They will try to tempt him to stay and this seems to take forever listening to them. Eventually they will give him his PAC code which he will then need to ring O2 and give it to them along with his sim serial number (O2 sim).

    I have made it sound more complicated than it really is but beware that it will take O2 around a week to make the number switch.
