Porting SIM only number to Three contract ?

Hi
I've got a 3 SIM only contract which is used by my daughter.
She is looking at a new phone deal which is also with Three.

They won't let me upgrade the account I have to the new deal, so she will take out a new contract.

What is the best way for me to cancel my contract and port the number to her new account ? My SIM only is out of contact.

Thanks

  • Best to speak to Three and get them to port the number manually. Their website is rubbish. It always says "sorry no deals" for me yet if I call them I can get any deal going.

    When I spoke to them they suggested changing the current SIM only account to PAYG and then porting it from there to the new account. They advised that would take 31 days.

    Wondering if I can just port to another provider now, and then port back to the new account ?

    Yes it will be quicker to port to another provider then port back again.

    Are there any recommendations for a provider who to port to and then from ?
    Ideally someone who doesn't charge !

    Thanks

    Just pick up a 50p PAYG sim card from a shop, port number over, then once it's active, port it again to your new Three deal.
