Port to Voda after Contract Start!

For those that want to Vodafone after contract starts, this could be done in the first 2 weeks.
I say could as I did this in 2008! Just found my tel call notes.
What VF do is they cancel the contract and then immediately reinstate it using the same dealer code (so dealer still gets their commission but more importantly you don’t lose cashback etc.).
I emailed [EMAIL="admin.support@vadafone.com"]admin.support@vodafone.com[/EMAIL] and asked them to do the above and if they didn’t to cancel the contract. It was done and I’ve had all my cashback!
Hope this helps, please post your experiences, thanks

    The VF web team have queried this for us on the forums, from management they have been given the answer it is done at point of sale only, it cannot be done after the contract is started.

    But with the amount of conflicting info coming out of VF atm, im not all surprised you hear different things.

    Anything CAN be done if there is a will to do it. They managed with me because of their !!!!-up.

    The trouble is that it is too much hassle for them and their administration is not as good as you might expect. For years they were unable to give businesses on shared minutes a breakdown of which mobile was clocking up which minutes in a decent form for internal charging.

    Their t&c definitely state that the PAC code must be available BEFORE you take out a contract. They are the only network that demands this, I believe - at least the only one of the big 5.

    If it means losing the contract/custom i think they will do it, but if not just cancel the contract. No financial loss for trying!
