Yes what you require is possible - the rules behing Number Porting are
you may port your existing number (pay and go or contract)
as long as the original provider is different to the new provider
I.E - porting from T-mobile to O2
What you need to do is inform your current provider of your intention to cancel your contract and port your number - they will then issue you with code called a PAK code - theis will be a letter or on teh phone wwhich you provide to teh new provider and they will then together come up with a date to transfer your number and contract from the old provider to the new
Hope this helps

I believe you can convert it to a regular carrier if it is the same number. ie. t-mobile prepaid to tmobile contract. If it is a trackphone, then the only one that will let you port it in is helio i believe. That's what they told me but cell phone companies lie by nature so no telling what the truth is... I you can then convert it to a regular contract with anyone, you can port it out within three days and not pay activation fees or cancellation fees.
Good luck

Yes you can. You need a pac code from your service provider. If you are changing from payg to contract on the same network it will take a lot less time, otherwise it usually takes upto 7 days.

Yes contact your pay-as you-go supplier and get a PAC Code.... Give that to your NEW Contract company... They will do this for you and take 7 days!!!

You can take a contract number to pay-as-you-go, but not the other way round. Once it is p.a.y.g that is it.

yes you can and if its the same network then you may even get some money for it I got £20.00 for doing it.
