Port number mid contract

Hello, I have got a new phone on a new contract for my OH (christmas pressy) but have realised his contract doesn't end for a few months. It's not much of a problem as he's not paying much at the moment so the wasted overlap will only be small.

However I want him to be able to use his old number on his new phone. Will that be possible or will we need to wait for the old contract to end?
Proud to be a moneysaver! :cool:

    I think they will give you a PAC if you pay them to the end of the contract ie pay them now for whatever you would pay if you stayed with them until the contract ended.

    You'd have to pay off the contract, once the number's ported out the contract is closed. They won't give you the pac with out. . .
