tmobile contract end

im coming to the end of one of my t mobile contracts and can give notice on 27th of this month.
i have never ended a contract before and am confused about this.
what do i say when i end it and i dont mean to sound stupid but what is a pac? is it a code or something and what do you do with it?

    You have to give 30 days notice to end a contract so if you speak to them on the 27th they will cancel it on the 27th of the following month.

    Pac code is a code you need if you want to transfer your number to another network.

    If you don't want your old number don't ask for the pac. If you don't use it your old contract will never end. Just tell them you want to cancel.

    You need to expand this point.

    Are you taking out a new contract on t-mobile through a different supplier as opposed to an upgrade? If so, you will lose your original number when you cancel the old contract unless you take preventative action.

    I am not sure if T-Mobile would allow you to take your old number onto a new contract or not. If not, then you will need to transfer your number to a different network via a PAC code and a PAYG sim and then reverse the process.

    More information, please, about just what you have done in taking out this new contract.

    Just give notice 30 days before contract ends.
