Hello! I'm on a sim only deal with 3 that is now out of contract. I'm getting a new sim free phone today and am thinking about quitting 3 (very very slow data in the evenings and night). Before I quit I want to try a 30 day contract (probably with plusnet) so I will be running 2 phones for a little bit. If I decide to stay with the new network I would then want to transfer my original number to the new phone. Can I start the process of porting my number 2 or 3 weeks after I start with a new network or is this something you have to do at the beginning?

    You can port your number to the new network at any time, so there's time to try it for reception etc.
