Any clues from those who've ported to Voda how to go about it?

I've ported from 3 and ASDA to VF. The most difficult thing was getting the PAC from 3 <GRIN>. For both I then rang VF on their free 0808 number & gave them the PAC code & they sorted it all out. For the ex-3 one I had a spare unactivated PAYG SIM from VF (one of their 4 packs) so they just activated it with the new number. I had to kill the 3 contract & I don't want the number so paying VF �10 to activate the SIM was worth it! The ex-ASDA one went to a 30-day contract (I only wanted the passport feature for a trip to Oz) & they had to send a SIM. The latter has now been ported out to giffgaff (really O2) as I really wanted to keep the number & that went smoothly. You can port the number over on the VF web site which is what I tried to do for the ex-ASDA PAC and via quidco. Except it didn't happen. It did track via quidco but after a few days I had heard nothing from VF & the Oz trip was looming. So I rang VF & customer service said they didn't have the online order number on their system & they set it up again. Which is probably why quidco didn't pay out. Best Regards... Ian

For contracts though, it must be done at the point of purchase (they don't issue temporary numbers for you to use). If you try and do it later they won't let you.
