    I did a simlar thing. I was on Orange ported to O2 PAYG and then ported back to Orange about 20 days later. I think you have to top up a minimum of £10 on the O2 sim for this to work though. Everything went smoothly and I'm back on Orange.

    did the same thing with vodafone, from contract to PAYG and then back to contract, took about 7 working days, why don;t you just go to 3 PAYG instead of switching to t-mob?
    2p off is still 2p off!
