PAC code request question

[Anonymous]

I was wondering if someone could help me with this question please.

I’m currently on a sim only pay monthly plan. It shows in My O2 that my contract renewal date is 13 October 2015.

I was wondering if I can contact O2 on the 13 September and ask for my PAC code. And then on that same date, can I give the PAC code to my new provider and this would then be my 30 days notice to O2 that I was wanting to end my service with them ?

So would this mean that on or just after the 13 October I would receive a final bill of what I would owe and after that my O2 account would be closed?

Yes

Forget to ask this earlier.

If I give my new provider the PAC code on lets say 13 September, would my number be transfered over within a couple of days or would the migration not take place until 30 days after the 13 September (i.e. 13 October)

Usually next day if requested Mon to Thurs.

If requested on a Fri it won't change until the following Tuesday.

I called up O2 today to get my PAC code and with all going well, my number should be ported over tomorrow.

It is jonsie.

I was down on the beach yesterday. Usually here, I have either no coverage or one bar with O2. I just wanted to do something simple (checking my Twitter feed for a local news event that was going on at the time) and I was able to do this with the network I'm moving to, the page displayed instantly when I clicked on the link, where usually doing the same thing with O2 (even with a decent 3G signal) it takes a while to load, sometimes taking that long that I get fed up and wait till I'm on wifi. Too be far though, I did have 4G with the new provider, but even doing the same on 3G gives the same result.

I'm now able to use my phone more of the time I need/want to and its a welcome change. I just hope my data usage doesnt go too high

I was just gonna say you'll need more than the 100mb you had on o2 now.
