Moving to new contract on EE but want to keep old number.

swayzak

Hello

Can someone please explain the process whereby I can take advantage of the EE S9 deals at the moment, but keep my EE number from my "Sharing" sim I have (which utilises my wife's EE contract) ?

Do I need to get PAC code from EE, transfer number on to cheapest PAYG I can find (? O2 - £10), take out contract with temporary new number, then get PAC code from O2 to transfer onto new contract SIM ?

Thanks

That's the way, But you may not need to top up, sometimes you can get the pac without. Just tell CS that you have zero signal.

Is there any time limitation with this e.g. PAC code expiration, time window on new S9 contract after which porting is not allowed etc. ?

A Pac lasts for 30 days only.

It's best to use it at least 3 or 4 days before it expires in case there's a problem with the port.

As far as I'm aware EE have no time limit on when you can port into a contract.
