Transferring a number - can i? How?

I have a 3 contract phone, with my old PAYG number however I'd like to transfer the contract number over to a PAYG sim to keep my personal and business calls on separate numbers.

Am I able to do this? And if so how?!

Three have been next to useless saying i should just start a new number :mad: but as I've had it for nigh on 10 years I've given it to all my contacts making it a nightmare! :eek:

Can anyone offer any advice? Pretty please! :D

    The only way to get your 3 contract number transferred to PAYG will be to pay up the remaining months line rental on the contract and then ask 3 to put the number on PAYG.

    You cannot swap contract numbers around and your 3 contract number will be tied into the contract until its run it course and is cancelled or closed with an early termination discount.
