Right, I've bought a phone on contract with Orange, decided its not for me and want to go back to PAYG (I'm still in 14 days return period).

Can I keep the phone number but still be on pay as you go.

Cos everybodys getting really annoyed with me changing numbers every 5 mins and I darent tell them again! :hihi:

Thanks in advance

Best ask Orange, I think you have to return the full package, including the number. I have done with previous contratcs.

Thanks D2J

I'm going tonight, I hope I dont have to give my number back, it's not that I have some kind of dodgy attachment relationship with it but everyones like 'Oh God, Helens got another number' and then they dont save the right one and i end up losing contact with them!

I dont think they will allow the same number, but like D2J said there is no harm in asking.

You get to keep your number once you've completed the contractual term.

I have a phone coming to the end of my contract, does anyone know if i can convert my existing number back to pay as you go as it was origonally on pay as you go till they talked me in to a contract

ask for a PAC code it gives you the right to transfer the number to Pay As You Go

In my experience they will come up with various excuses and say "no". At which point I go "oh well, I think I'll try someone else, change is as good as a rest".

Suddenly all the issues vanish, my phone was swapped to PAYG and I kept the same number.
