Can I port a number mid contract from another account?

[Infobleep]

Hi thrre

Happy Christmas to all. 

My Samsung S6 Edge battery died after 3 years so I have taken out a new O2 contract on a Samsung Note 9.

My existing contract has 2 months to go. Can I run the contracts side by side and port my exist number across wehn my existing contract ends. 

Or do I need to port the number across at the start of my new contract?

I don't know if the early exit fee is the same as just paying for the next 2-3 months or less. I was quoted about £48.

My monthly contract is about £21 and it ends 27 February 2019.

Thanks for reading.

It’s your choice mate. 

You can migrate your number across at anytime just by calling customer service.  

When you do it will end the current contract immediately and charges will be applicable if before the minimum term.

I will just mention @Mark76 again here as he appears to think this is customer services. Hopefully he will come back and read the reponse to his post.
