I have a 36mth contract with Orange and I am half way through, now I have got what I wanted out of the contract I am looking to port the number elsewhere either PAYG or another contract is there anyway of doing this without terminating the contract ?


TIA

Just a quick aside, as a 36-month contract holder, have you got your free 18-month replacement handset? I only ask because you actually have to request it (it was part of the 36 month deal) and it doesn't get sent automatically. If you haven't, make sure you do this first! It doesn't alter the contract in any way. Just call them up and they'll give you a list of free handsets available.

If you got your PAC from Orange, you wouldn't be able to continue paying £5p/m - they would expect you to pay the full £90 as a lump some (potentially with a small %age knocked off for early termination)

And not forgetting the VAT being knocked off aswell

I've certainly done this on Orange and O2, with no issues - I simply said I wished the number ported, but to be replaced with any number of the network's choosing so I can keep the contract live. There were no issues, and the contract rolled on as before.

Really?

By regulation, using a PAC closes the account.

Agree with the above, I've worked for an MNO before and this was certainly the case there, the contract is on the number, if you port it, you'd be ending that contract and starting a new one with a new number.

Saying that, it is technically possible of course, but they're not likely to do this unless they screwed up or the contract is worth a lot of money to them.
