Move to SIM only (maybe with Pixel 6 purchase outright)

[DrB]

Hello everyone -- with Black Friday coming up, I'm thinking of asking for my PAC code to facilitate an easy jump elsewhere if needed.  I'm thinking of:

- purchasing Pixel 6 outright
- moving to a SIM-only deal

As I am eligible for an academic discount (20%?), can I:

- purchase a new SIM only plan

- move my existing number to this

I assume I need to do this in order to get the academic discount (i.e. a new contract).

I normally buy a phone/SIM bundle on Black Friday but keeping my options this year.

Hope the above is clear but happy to clarify if needed - thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Hi @DrB,

If you'd like to change who pays the bill, you'll just need to speak to Customer Care. They'll need to verify you and the new bill payer.

Hope this helps.

Thanks James.

Hypothetically, is it possible to port within EE contracts?  The Forums are very much split, some toe the company line, others confirm it can be done.  Or is porting to and from another network the only answer?

Hi @DrB,

No, it isn't possible to port a number from one active EE contract to another.
