Keeping Existing Number with O2?

Shens.

You can transfer your number over no matter what network you're on.

It's even easier as you're with o2!

 

He may not have been from O2 at all. There are many fraudsters around. If he was from O2, he doesn't know what he's talking about. Ring customer services and get a PAC code, although I'm not sure whether you need it as you are on O2 anyway.

 

You DONT need the PAC code.

 

If he's on O2 online he might

 

O2 Online don't need a PAC

 

I cant remember, but when i worked for O2 im pretty sure I couldnt carry a number from O2 Online to O2 Retail and visa versa. Only Prepay to Post. Maybe im getting confused, but there was a reason I couldnt move my O2 online number to my retail staff account contact at the time.

 

can someone confirm this important point ?

 

well i thought this would'nt make any difference anyway as it is all done online through iTunes?

 

Yes I'm with O2 online and you do not need a PAC code. Same if you are a O2 retail customer.

O2 CPW customers require a transfer code.

 

If you are with a different network you will need to get a PAC code from them.

If you are an existing O2 customer (including pay as you go but excluding CPW customers) you will be asked during activation if you want to transfer your number. This can take up to 5 working days and you will get a temporary number in the interim.

If you have an O2 CPW account you will need to contact them after you have purchased your iphone and they will give you a transfer code which you enter during the activation process. Again, you get a temporary number while the transfer takes place.

If you took out your 02 CPW contract before 18th September 2007 there is no charge for terminating the contract. Otherwise I believe the termination fee is just over £200.

Strangely, O2 Business and Corporate tariff customers CANNOT transfer their numbers to the iPhone.
