Number Porting before end of 12 month contract

mooch

I'm planning on taking up the o2 (v220) 100 + 100 cashback deal.

I've got my PAC from Orange and will port the number over.

If I subsequently find that 100 xnet minutes isn't enough, can I port my number to another contract e.g. Voda 200 BEFORE the o2 12 month contract is up. If so, would o2 give me a replacement number. I don't mind paying for the remainder of the o2 contract because with cashback, its free anyway.

Just wanna check that going with o2 100+100 doesn't leave me trapped if I start increasing my usage.

I dont think you can do get a PAC code until your contact is going to end.

So basically no.

In that case, anyone recommend a cashback 12 month contract (non-Orange) with 200+ xnetwork mins and a phone that I can sell easily (for £££s ).

hi there

you can port your number anywhere if you have a pac code but you would still carry on paying for the line rental on your current tarrrif.

as long as you are paying the remainder of your contract they have to provide you a PAC as you are fulfilling yourpart of the contract. I know I took a PAC from O2 after 6 months of a contract die to poor network coverage last October

Excellent. Just what I needed to hear. O2 it is then (hope coverage in my area's better that your WT).

Out of interest, what happened to your O2 contract? Did they give you a new replacement number, or did the service just end (apart from you paying the remaining line rental)?

The service just ended as far as Iknow, not sure they even offered a replacement number as I said it was pointless as their network only provides a signal in the great outdoors!

I wouldn't mind losing the service, but I'm wondering if this would affect your cashback claims.

Was yours a cashback contract? I take it you still received bills, which is what you'd need to put in a cashback claim.

I just received a final bill detailing all charges to the end of the contract i.e. 6 months at their lowest tarrif. I paid and that was that, wasn't a cashback contract so didn't affect me.

Oh well, I guess that means as far as cashback goes, I will need to stick to the 12 month contact if I want to keep my number.

Thanks for the help Woby_Tide
