    We have just moved to Lebara from O2, quite impressed so far and as others have mentioned only 30 day contract (would not go near O2 ever again)

    So i tried Vodafone 1 more time and they arent giving me anywhere near enough of a good deal. (£18 for 50GB they did offer, but I dont use more than 20GB and what a price under £10). So, I'll be leaving....
    I've been with Vodafone since year dot... so i've never actually had to deal with a switch between operators....
    How does this work?

    My deal ends Dec 2nd.... if i cancel now it will cost about £5.... so im not worried about paying the £5.... but i dont want to wait til Dec 3rd in case they charge me a month.... and i did think of waiting til Black Friday....

    So what do i do to switch? do i just give the new provider the PUK code and they port my number over?


    Thanks!

    If you've completed the minimum term on your current Vodafone contract then you can cancel at any time with a PAC given to a new supplier, without notice. Any part-month that you've paid in advance will be refunded (so don't go cancelling any direct debit).

    Get the new provider signed up, get the new SIM activated and working in a phone, make sure that it works OK and the coverage, Wi-fi calling etc is satisfactory.

    THEN get the PAC (not PUK) from Vodafone and give it to the new provider.
