Pac code VS cashback question?

Spender£

I am thinking of ditching Three Pay-as-you-go for 1p mobile due to the price hikes coming up next month.
I can get cashback if i order a 1p sim through a cashback site like Topcashback but does anybody know if i would be able get my pac code and keep my number or will i have to have the new number which comes with the sim.
I guess my question would be in order to keep my Three number would i need to request my pac code and miss out on cashback?

The whole point of a PAC code is so you can migrate network.  You just give 1p mobile the PAC code and the temporary number you get and your existing number gets transferred while the temporary number goes back into the pool and is reallocated.  The process is nothing to do with cashback.

I wouldn't bother about Topcashback.  Referred to them by Martin's site I made a purchase last November in order to get an opening offer cashback of £15.  I'm still waiting and have been told it will be another couple of months.  I very much doubt I will ever get the money.

I do quite well with Topcashback and have got over £1k back from them over the years.

Your waiting period is not unusual as it stops people from purchasing something then cancelling a couple of months later and pocketing the money.
