Switching to and from PAYG to get a new customer contract
Hello all,
I was unable to get any decent contract options from TMobile, even after getting through to retentions, so am going down the route of switching to Giffgaff and then back to Tmobile as a new customer (through mobilephonesdirect).
The first number porting from Tmobile to Giffgaff is going through now, albeit with delays at Giffgaff, and my Tmobile SIM has now stopped working.
How long after my number has been ported to Giffgaff should I wait before applying for the new contract with TMobile? I assume that technically I can apply now, since my contract has been terminated, but thought I would see if anyone has any experience with this process.
Bit of a faff really, but hopefully it will be worth it in the end...

There is no need to wait. You even could have applied before porting out. The porting is needed only for transferring the old number to the new contract.How long after my number has been ported to Giffgaff should I wait before applying for the new contract with TMobile?
