Need a holding PAYG

I'm out of contract with 3.
I am in the business of transferring my traffic to my works phone.
Until I get the full transfer done, and to ensure that I don't lose communication just yet I'd like a PAYG sim that I can just PAC my number to, ideally I dont want one that needs a monthly bundle or any such nonsense, I don't mind putting a couple of quid on it but that's about it.

What would you advise? Thanks in advance.

    Giffgaff is easier to port in & out of without going through call centre's.

    I'm happy with Tesco. I don't use my mobile often but the credit just sits there.

    Just call 3 and ask for PAC if you want to transfer ur number to another network.
