PAC code
Maybe I've missed something but if you're going from O2 to Vodafone then it's O2 who have to provide the PAC code. They are allowed to charge a small admin fee for this but can't refuse to do it. You then give your new supplier the code and they can transport you number. So technically Vodafone are correct - it isn't something that they can do.

I have got my PAC number.
I have got a new contract through phones4u with vodafone on teh understanding that I could ring vodafone up and give them my pac number when it came through
I have rung vodafone to tell them the PAC number but they say that they can't do it this way as when I signed up a new number was reserved for me
vodafone are telling me that this happens a lot cos places like phones4u and caphonewarehouse want the deal that day
don't know who is telling me porkies but someone is and I think it's phones4u"Well behaved women rarely make history"Comment

Most phone companies will let you join and then ring back later with the PAC code say within the first 2 months or so...
Voda are different and can only do the port on connection as one transaction!
Phone4U just wanted the connection!

Mate of mine claimed to have got 12 months free after being similarly messed about, but he is a known Billy Bulltulipter so he might have been exaggerating.Comment

I think that tarriff is £40 a month?? the half price aint bad but Phones4U or any other shop cant authorise any extra discounted months even if they have given wrong advise.. only money out of their till!!
Not sure on receiption coverage where you are but T-Mobile have just launched a new deal... £35 a month and you get a credit rather than mins or text.. you get £180 per month to spend on cross network calls, text message, voice mail and picture messages.. you simply eat away at the credit.
Each week you receive a text to say how much credit you have left.. basically you should never have a bill over £35 as long as you dont ring 0845 telephone banking lol
Otherwise good luck and make em squirm to keep you and see what they offer such as freebies lol
