Changing Mobile Number

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello
I would like to change my mobile number on my contract to a gold number from a PAYG sim number I'm thinking of buying online.

Is this thread solution still valid?

Yeah heard of them and as long as it's a standard uk mobile number there is no restrictions.
The only problem you may have is trying to get the PAC out of Lebara as some of the mvno's can be awkward.

Yes it's still valid but what it doesn't mention is that you need at least one £10 top up on the PAYG sim before you can transfer the number.
