Three + moving numbers
                    Just rang Three, who I've had no difficulties with over the last two and a half years, and asked about moving to PAYG.  All that's fine and I can keep my number, however I decided to see if the upgrades people could offer me anything special to keep me on a contract - and it seems not.  However they seemed to think if I went on to PAYG, I couldn't move my number back to a contract (with them at least).  Is this true, and would it be universal meaning I couldn't transfer it to anyone?
If all it would mean should I find myself needing a contract was I had to hold on to my other mobile for a bit, it's no biggy...

Port out to another network - such as Virgin, you should then be able to port to a new contract with 3 without a problem.0 - 
            Cheers for the reply... the CSA at Three didn't seem to 100% know, but I thought I'd heard of numbers being ported PAYG to contract...0
