From vodafone contract with vodafone to vodafone contract with mobiles.co.uk

bmas

I am currently on a vodafone contact directly with them and it expires at the beginning of next month. The best offer i have gotten from them is unlimited mins, unlimited texts and 2/3G of data for £15.30.

I have seen this same exact deal for the same price (but with multiple redemptions that brings it to down £5.50) on vodafone via mobiles.co.uk.

If take the offer with a third party company, will I be able to still keep my number. If yes, how can I do this?

Thank you.

No. You'd have to port out to a different network, then back to Vodafone. Though you must be an absolute masochist to want to stay with them.

I have not had any issues with them in the last 12 months - what should i be wary of?
Also how do I port to another network and then back to them?

Just have a close look at the first page of the board? Or even search the board for 'vodafone'.

That's what PACs exist for. You get it from the old network and give to the new one.

They can offer it a little cheaper than that if you push them, You can get 3000 minutes unl txt and 3Gb data with life for £10.

Voda Unl minutes = 3000 anyway.

Im going for the Life 1500 minutes, Unl txt and 1GB data for £6 with a 1 month contract so no long tie ins. Voda couldnt come close to that price and when i said its 1 month contract also he gave up trying.

I hate cashback deals. They play on the fact that you forget or the bill gets lost in the post etc.

If the cashback fails your paying £15.50.

Is there a minimum term to port the number away? Move to Life then back to Voda? Only cost you £6 or £10. 1 month contract.

Then your username is very apt. I live off cashback deals and look after a lot of other people who've been using them for years (multiple contracts). I make sure they don't "forget" and they wouldn't do anything BUT a cashback deal. Further, none of them would incur such a high cost should they miss out - and the only way they would miss out is if they don't respond to my guidance or the dealer goes bust. Even then they won't lose out entirely.
