I hope this makes sense.
I am currently with T-Mobile and at the end of my contract, I want to upgrade but T-Mobile don't do any phones that I like.
I've found a couple of good deals with 3rd party suppliers (Carphone Warehouse, Nokia, etc) and want to upgrade, keeping my number. However due to various signal and technical reasons I have to stick to T-Mobile.
Is there any way of me upgrading via these companies or alternatively transferring my number, as I'm a bit confused as to how it would work as they won't just let me upgrade my number and PAC codes have to be between networks I've been told.
Thanks

I think this might be the way forward! In theory it should work - if I do it I'll go for a 30 day SIM contract. Just a bit of a pain!0
