Upgrade early/buy out contract

[Anonymous]

My contract runs out in February, but I've bee told I can pay £120 to upgrade early to the iphone 5s on Friday.

However, my contract has always been in my mums name so whenever I phone up they have to speak to her. I want to change this to my name.

So.. Can I get my mum to phone up Thursday night and buyout the contract for £120, then phone up Friday morning and get the 5s on a new contract under my name?

And can I get a puc code on Thursday night so I can keep my number?

You can lose this thread or whatever.

I've finally upgraded.

Cheers all.

Hi Longshanks1,

Sorry for the delay getting back to you on the forum. Glad you got it all sorted in the end.

If you had gone down the route of moving your number across to the new contract you took out in your own name, the old contract would have cancelled/disconnected automatically when the number became active on your new contract, but we normally don't recommend moving the number across until you have received delivery of the new phone otherwise you would not have an active sim with your old number on until it arrives in the box with your new phone.
