When to request PAC?
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?

Try a number of different network sims first .Find the network that is best for the location you want to use .

You can port your number to the new network at any time, so there's time to try it for reception etc.Evolution, not revolution1
