    I know you cant port a contract to contract on the same network but what if you are on a payg and want to take out a contract through a seller?

    What you will be best doing is getting pac number and going onto payg, the transfer usualy takes a week. I done it with o2, went from contract to payg back onto a contract with any problems
    This would only work if the new contract was taken out directly with O2 and not a dealer. Most, if not all, dealers do not facilitate migrations as the commission a dealer earns is considerably less than for a new network connection.

    Unfortunately this is representative of the phone business in general. The phone industry dont seem to care about the reputation they have despite it has a regulator.
