Migrate number to an existing contract
- Thread starter dt22
- Start date
Two separate issues:
1. Finishing a contract early - no problems, as long as you pay off the remaining line rental. They will give you a PAC code.
2. Using the PAC code on an existing contract - depends on network, some (like Vodafone) say you can only use it within the first 30 days, others (like Orange) don't mind when you use the PAC code at all. You'll need to ask the network that you want to take your number to.

I was under the impression Vodafone were more strict than that - requiring you to use your PAC code as you take out your new contract and not allowing you to do so later.
I moved from Orange to a Vodafone SIM Only tarrif over Christmas and Vodafone made it clear I had to use the PAC code during the ordering process as I wouldn't be able to use it later.
