PAC Code for Same Network?

sarzenn26

Hello, i was wondering if someone could offer a bit of insight. 
I am looking to buy out of my phone contract early and have seen a new deal with the same network off a third party website (i have used beofre so is legit) however, when i have enquired with THREE they have said they cannot offer me the same deal. They also said it wasn't worth transferring my number as it would "take months"
I was wondering if i gained a PAC code, transferred to a PAYGO, then gained a PAC code again and transferred to the new phone would this work? This in theory would take about a week not months like three have said? Or is there a minimum term of 30 days i have to stay PAYGO before being allowed the PAC code?
(if that makes sense)

Thanks in advance

in the last 5mths i have Pac coded my number from Three 3 times....From Three to ID then Smarty then back to Three which i am with now.
No i don't think you would have to stay a month for payg just get the Pac by Text that way you don't have to talk to anyone.
Have a read of the link will tell you what you need to know.

As above, port out to another network on a PAYG SIM, and then back again. No minimum term, you can do it immediately.

Have you worked out how much Three require to pay up your contract? I think they multiply the number of months left by your monthly amount and take off 20%.

If the OP uses the pac code then he/she will get a final bill of how much he/she owes by text with the pac code.
