Moving number whilst still in contract

moneymagic

Hello, techhie question here

I'm currently on a sim-only contract with virgin until June and I have a great deal for a new contract phone. If I move my number from virgin mid-contract what would happen? Would it automatically try and cancel my contract? I am planning to move to the cheapest deal with virgin and pay out my final couple of months as this would still work out cheaper overall due to the excellent deal I am getting with the new phone/contract

Thanks

If this great new deal is with Virgin, ask them if you can move to it with your number. Otherwise, when you port your number to another network your original service is terminated (wouldn't be much use without a phone number...).

How can this be cheaper if until June you pay for the same months twice?

You could put the Virgin Sim in the new phone and ask for the PAC within the last 30 days of the end of the Virgin contract then swap to the new Sim on the final day and apply the PAC. I think that makes sense

Edit: make sure that changing anything on the Virgin contract doesn't start up a new minimum term.

2nd Edit: this is presuming that the new supplier is on the same network so a locked phone won't cause issues.
