Question about porting after you transferred from contract to PAYG.

Old_Gold

If I give notice to the network of my intention to stop my monthly contract and from that date to transfer it to PAYG then what would I need to do if I wanted to port the number afterwards? How long would I need to give notice of intent, etc?

Hi,

Once the number has been switched over to pay as you go you can request your PAC anytime to transfer your number to another network or service provider. With pay as you go you are not contracted for a minimum period so you are free to take your number when you like.

Hi, I am currently considering doing the same until I decide which new contract I'd like. I have a spare orange sim somewhere that I got free, how do I transfer my number onto it? I have received my PAC from O2.

Interesting I have just read this on the Virgin site regarding transferring your number.
1. CHECK WHETHER YOU'RE STILL UNDER CONTRACT

Pay As You Go - This is normally no longer than three months

So this suggests that some networks may not let you transfer your number before giving notice of three months. Anyone know anything about this?
