Changing numbers

[ASD]

Good evening.

my mum is on o2 and has 5 months of her contract left. She has found a better deal with better signal with a different provider. If she was to go with the other network provider, would she still be able to change her number to her old o2 number in 4-5 months time when her contracts ends or does it have to be done much sooner? Hope this makes sense and thanks in advance

@ASD Unless your mum wants to be paying for two contracts she would have to move her number when she switches provider. If she decides to switch providers now and wants to keep her number she would have to pay off what remains of her O2 contract. See this guide: Cancelling your contract - An updated guide - O2 Community

If she wants to pay 2 providers there is nothing to stop her porting her number in 5 months from now
