Porting o2 to o2 via PAYG
Comments

Hi there
You need to port your number to a PAYG sim from another network and then move it back. You can't move from contract to PAYG to contract with the same network - they don't like it.
Additionally, go via a cashback site and get paid for doing it!! Using Quidco as an example, you'd get £60 when you moved back to O2 on a new contract or £75 sim only!!In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and was widely regarded as a bad move.The late, great, Douglas Adams.0 -

Yes, you can go from PAYG to Contract with O2 - You don't need to port to another network first.
Can be done by calling Customer Services or via the following page:

No use if you want the cashback!0 -
Should be able to port onto pay as you go from contract and then back again. Your PAC code lasts 30 days anyway so if your going to go back before that then dont need to port onto PAYG.0

As Quentin, correctly, said:No use if you want the cashback!
The whole point is that if you use your PAC code to go from, say, O2 to Orange on PAYG and then get an Orange PAC code to go back to O2, you can take advantage of the cashback offered to "new" customers.In the beginning, the universe was created.

I'm looking at taking out a Desire which costs £270 (over 18mths) if cashback tracks on Dialaphone with rubbish minutes, texts and no dat but then also take another deal via mobiles.co.uk on o2 which includes data, 600 mins and unltd texts and that works out at £110 including cashback.
So hopefully will get Desire and good tariff for £380!0
