Unlinking hell!

Hi, I've spoken to two different o2 agents about my tariff and both said different things. 

 

My tariff has now reached 24 months, so I believe it's now unlinked from my device plan. 

 

I asked about migrating this number to another number on my account, I was told I could not do this unless I paid off the device plan in full. 

 

So I then asked about leaving the network and moving the number to a different provider but continuing to pay my device plan as usual with the monthly installments, I was then told this is also not possible unless I paid off the device plan in full. 

 

Am I being lied to here? I'm being told I am unable to migrate my now unlinked number to take over another number on my account(I have 3 linee on my account, as it's my main one and don't want to lose it) 

 

And I'm also being told I can only avoid an early termination fee by paying off the device plan in full if I want to move my number.

 

The agents words were 

 

'If you want to cancel your number, still you need to pay off the device amount.

Either you can pay off in installments (if you change your tariff), or pay off your device in full (if you are cancelling it)'

 

So I'm being told if I want to continue paying my device plan in installments I have to take out a new tariff and if I want to cancel my tariff I have to pay off my device plan in full even though the tariff is now unlinked. Which makes no sense to me, as what's the point of the tariff becoming unlinked from the device plan.

How the heck are O2 customer service "Award winning"?! I've been with them on and off since 2009 and to say they're worse than useless most of the time would be a massive understatement.

 

Although to be fair, even they're better than Three or Virgin.

 

A few years back, Dad and I were with Three, and because both our initials are R Allen, they thought he was me and I was him and wouldn't speak to either of us until Dad threatened them with legal action.
