Cashbacks and PACs?

Hello,

I have a couple of questions regarding cashbacks and PACs if anyone would be so good as to provide some guidance?

1) Many mobile phone retailers offer 'cashback' every few months in a contract deal. Does anyone know if the cashback offer would remain valid if I was to import a number (via a PAC code)? ie. if I'm part way through my contract and I import a number, will I still be able to claim my cashback?

2) I'm considering doing a PAC bounce to Orange. Does anyone know which network tends to be the quickest for issuing a PAC code for a newly imported mobile number?

Cheers!

  • to get cash back i have to send or fax a copy of my Phone bill the them eash month, then they send me a cheque
  • Ah, but if you change your number, could you still send them the fax?
    Presumably they have some way of associating you with your cashback deal?
  • well if u chance the number with them on the contract u got with them i dont see why not, they will only give u cash back on the contract u get out in the first place
