Putting son's number on my ongoing phone deal until it expires. Can it be done mid term.

[Oxfordian1]

I am off to EE because they can support my Galaxy LTE Watch and O2 only support Apple Watches. However I have 6 months remaining on my contract which I would like to give to my son, whose own Vodafone contract just expired. Obviously we both want to keep our existing numbers. Can this be done, and if so, how? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Can't be done I'm sorry to say.

Porting your number out will close your O2 account immediately.

@Oxfordian1 Here's how to get your PAC to keep your number: https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/How-to-Guides/How-to-get-your-PAC-July-2019-Update/ba-p/1052278

Your son will need his PAC from Vodafone using whatever method they have.

Sorry to hear that, but it makes sense, sadly. How annoying. You would think that would make sense?

But thanks for your help.

Yes, it is annoying and would be a useful addition, but as everything is driven from the number, it controls everything account related.
