Keeping your number
Comments
-
As a recently departed MVNO has gone, I want to keep my number. I have the PAC but should I transfer it to an old PAYG T-Mobile account or to 3 network on the 321 plan? Any other options as time is running out on the PAC?Well it took me months to leave T-Mobile plus associated bills so I personally don't have a high regard for them. Plus for PAYG They are nearly twelve times more expensive than 3 for calls and way more for internet.

All clever replies - NOT.
I just want to keep the number not use their plans. It's almost a 'gold' number, one easy to remember, many doubles. I already have some old T-MUK SIMs I could use the PAC on. Don't want another 3 account, plus it would be at least £5 to transfer.

If the number is precious, and the clock is ticking on your 30 days, then I'd port it anywhere immediately right now onto a free PAYG SIM. It won't cost you anything, and if on a 'real' network it will be safe enough for now. You can then port it again later when you wish.
Who know for how much longer Ovivo PAC's will function?No free lunch, and no free laptop0
