Number transfer from O2 to O2

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

I am in the 24th month of my contract with O2, the end of the contract month being the 24th. I am wanting to stay with O2 but the upgrade deals are significantly more expensive than buying a new contract through carphone warehouse (still O2). Therefore I intend on buying a new contract through carphone warehouse and then cancel/tranfer my current O2 number. 

I am aware that you are required to give 30 days notice of cancellation, but if you are transferring a number using a PAC code (ie. to a different network) this will require no notice and immediately cancel the original contract. In the case that you transfer a number from O2 contract to O2 contract (not via an upgrade as the deal is not available as a direct upgrade) would this require no notice and hence cancel my original contract and only charge me for the remaining 24th month? 

Thanks for your help

Basically the same as I said but reworded.

The end result will be the same.

yep, to try an "untangle" this post.... and also to clarify which one is the O2's official procedure

All seems quite straightforward when the proper process is followed.

No wonder I prefer the non direct route then .... Seriously it was all confusing but as I have never undertaken this process then the 'less official post' seemed far easier....to me #justsaying

This wasn't a real process you know? It was actually created due to that many issues with people taking out new connections like they were the same as upgrades and then wanting to keep their number, teenagers that were now allowed to have their own contract but wanted to keep the number that was under the parents name,etc... It only change around 3 years ago....

Before Refresh it was quite simple: if you want to keep the same number you upgrade, you want a new number cancel the old one and set up a new one. Simplezzz!
