Evening all, just a couple of quick questions...
I'm currently on an 02 contract which has come to the end of the 12 months tie in. What I want to do is go onto PAYG and then start a new 12 month contract with 02 through Mobileshop.com, who offer free 12 month line rental deals.
My questions are: can I go to any company for PAYG for a couple of days i.e. Orange, Virgin etc. while my PAC goes through, or are there some that you cant transfer to, and then leave again with a PAC within say a 7 day period.
Also, would there be any problems with o2 with me leaving and then starting a brand new contract just a few days later?
Any ideas would be much appreciated...

whether theyll say anything about you leaving and returning depends on your credit rating theyll run a new credit check for the new contract
dont think you can bring the no back to an o2 contract for at least 3monthsYes Your Dukeiness0 -
dont know how recent it is but companies want to stop people from leaving and coming back getting a great new offer theyd rather get them to upgrade to keep the number
its stupid but yeah i mean you can try it but dont be suprised if you have to wait to bring the number backYes Your Dukeiness0
