Can I transfer number to a different name?

Stupid question maybe - but can I transfer a number from an existing contract, using a PAC code, to a new contract in a different name?

Not if you want to keep the existing contract. The use of a PAC code terminates a contract. However if you are ending your current contract, you can use the PAC code with whatever name you want - it is merely a code that transfers the number from one network to another and isn't done by name.

This seems not to be always the case:

...I transferred a very good number to Virgin mobile after buying from ebay and they have now suspended my account and wont release it until I can provide proof of ownership and they say that ebay is not an official source of purchase. Help!

Note: apparently this happened after transferring with the PAC.
