Orange to New Orange Contract Keeping Number?

My wife wants a new phone but is being offered rubbish deals from orange retentions....... she can get a better on a new contract.

Is it still possible to Port her number to a PAYG sim and then Port it back again straight away?

Many thanks

  • Tom, you have to port it to another network PAYG and then back to Orange. There is a certain amount of time that you have to be on the PAYG sim, so you may have to wait a week before you order the new PAC code. Check with the network first.

    Sometimes, Carphone Warehouse or Phones4U will offer you an "upgrade" with the deal you want if you go via them rather than Orange and that avoids the need to switch sims and PAC codes - they simply take over everything and do it for you.
    In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and was widely regarded as a bad move.
