I just used a spare free unactivated Tesco mobile card to do this. I
had the same concerns, and left it about a week (having spent only about
a quid of call-time) before phoning for my PAC.

I gave them some flannel about changing my mind about going to PAYG and
they didn't put any obstacles in my way. Was even able to transfer the
balance of the mandatory �10 PAYG top-up to my kids' Tesco mobiles via
their 'ping-me-a-pound' service!

Not sure about the Vodafone aspect of the query, and whether it's
do-able of you've already taken out the new contract.

I've ordered a T-Mobile PAYG Sim which comes with £5 credit on it and
plan to do similar to what you did - port out of Voda, then ask for
the PAC as quickly as they will allow it. Then use that when I order
my new phone from Voda business. Not that I can make my mind up - was
set on an HTC Tough Pro 2 but am now looking at their HD2 instead.
Bonkers that Vodafone don't offer these handsets on consumer tarriffs
- especially the HD2 which they sold for just 3 weeks before making it
business only. Its NOT a business phone - would their just signed
contract for the iPoo 3GS have anything to do with abruptly ditching
the competition?

Anyway, a bit of disruption for a week or so but its worth it to keep
my number.

Thanks

Hi Ian,

I work for the Vodafone Web Relations team and have just seen your
post. First of all I apologise that you felt this process was
necessary, hopefully im not too late. I have checked this out for you
and we are able to port the number from consumer to business for you,
no strings attached and it will save you this porting saga. This means
you'd have your existing consumer number on the business account and
the consumer would close. Please e-mail webrelations(a)vodafone.com with
WRT 135 in the subject heading, please include the account number so
we can find the details.

All the best
