From EE to EE

[Konje]

My EE contract expired months ago, but whilst looking for a new phone I have remained with EE on a monthly rolling basis. I have just found a new phone to purchase on a third-party website (affordable mobiles).

Do I have to get a PAC code from EE to port over to a different network AND then ring EE to cancel my current monthly-rolling contract (giving them 30 days notice) before I can buy the new phone from Affordable mobiles? Any help is much appreciated!

EE won't port nos between contracts. So you need to 1st port your existing no to another network's PAYG using a PAC from EE & then in reverse port it back to your new contract. This will also have the effect of cancelling your old contract.

You could alternatively "upgrade" your old contract to PAYG & then ask EE to transfer the no to your new contract.

Many thanks for your speedy response. I will report back if I stumble on any further issues But after porting my current number onto a PAYG sim I will then reverse port my existing number back to EE when the new phone arrives!
