currently on monthly o2 contract........ have seen the much much better tariff advertised on uswitch that is available direct from o2 .    Did a live chat with o2 to see if they would give me same tariff but wouldn't . 
If i take out a new contract on the uswitch offer it will have a new number ... these days can you port your number from an original o2 contract on to another ?

    It's unlikely to be possible but would have been worth asking during the live chat.

    Otherwise you would have to port your number to a SIM of another network using PAC, then port it again to your new O2 contract SIM.

    When I was with O2 they were quite happy to migrate a number (not port, migrate) from one contract to another. The original contract will end. 

    This was three years ago and at the time they were the only provider to allow migration.

    I was wondering the same so went through to the O2 website through the uswitch deal and when i clicked on the deal and went to checkout it gave me the option of 'upgrading a current plan' so maybe try that?

  • Call up to request a PAC and explain you are moving due to the non-availability of the offer.
