Moving a number from 3 to O2

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Six months ago I got so fed up with 3 that I took a contract with O2. The number I have on 3 is years old and I'd like to keep it, preferably moving it to my now six month old O2 contact.

Once I get my PAC from 3 will this be possible given that this isn't a new O2 contract?

Many thanks.

Hi @Anonymous This should be easy enough. Follow this guide and the section regarding moving from another provider to O2 http://www.o2.co.uk/help/phones-sims-and-devices/how-to-keep-your-mobile-number

If you have any problems with the process then just give customer services a ring on the numbers shown here

Thank you.

It's this bit that concerns me;

"If you're new to O2, or changing your O2 contract, it's easy to keep your mobile number."

I'm neither new nor changing my contract. I'll just go through the process and see how it goes.

It matters not.
You can port in a number at any time, it's just more normal to do it when you first join.

Excellent. Many thanks folks.

Yes I would give it a try....As i said though if you experience any difficulty at all then give CS a call. Best of luck @Anonymous

I've taken a contract out with o2 and given my PAC code 1 year down the line, no issues.  

There is a couple of companies that don't allow transfers when the contract is up and running, but o2 isn't one of them.
