Porting a number to EE

Options
Hi, does anyone know whether it is possible to port a number from Virgin and/or Asda mobile to the EE network? The reason i ask is because both Virgin and Asda use the EE network themselves and i thought you could'nt port a number to the same network, or will i be able too as they are both "virtual" networks or whatever it is they call themselves.

    You can still port from a virtual network to a 'proper' network, or vice versa.
    From the PAC/admin point of view, they are different networks.

    It's exactly the same process as going from O2 to EE, as an example.

    Get your PAC from the old network and give it to EE, the number should transfer the next working day if EE get it before 17h00.
