Switching networks with PAC - what happens?

[Jez]

Ok, i have an iphone (probably irrelevant) on Three. I have got them to issue me with a PAC code as the contract expires month end.

I wish to order a sim card from vodafones website, using the PAC code entry box.

Would someone please be so kind as to detail the process for me? How much downtime will i have? Will my three sim card just die one day, will the vodafone sim card come with my current number already on it?

Basically, how does the transition work?

Many thanks

I wont be that thankful tbh, three really isnt bad when used with a decent handset (in my case an iphone). Their HSDPA coverage is both unlimited and performs very well, in that sense the vodafone contract will actually be a downgrade.

What i am looking forward to though is cell roaming working properly so i can finally have uninterrupted calls when driving or on trains etc. That and vodafone is offering the cheapest deals on the whole market by absolutely miles at the moment.

(900mins, Ultd Text, "Ultd" Data, £20pm, 12 months, with £100 quidco. Works out to £12pm over the year)

I dont have two handsets, i think i will just have to keep the voda sim in my pocket ready for when my three sim dies on me in that case
