my contract with t-mobile is due to the end and I am planning to take up another cash back deal with them

my plan is to port my number to 3 PAYG and request a PAC code a few days later to port it back to my new t-mobile contract

not sure if 3 will allow me to do that
is there a minimum period that you need to stay with 3 before you can request a PAC code?

    The Orange rep said on here a while back that you could port in, in the morning and request your pac in the afternoon. That might be a better bet for you ?

    You have to give 30 days notice for every change you make to the account
