Taken from O2’s official blog, apparently the leading UK Operator is now making it easier for you to keep your number, whether you are joining, or moving between their products.
We’re changing all that with www.o2.co.uk/keepmynumber. It’s a new online page that contains everything you need to know about how to keep your number. You’ll still need to get a PAC if you’re moving to O2 – it helps make sure no-one transfers your number without your say so – but it contains step-by-step instructions about what you need to do and what we’ll do for you.
It’ll also help you if you’re moving within O2. If you’re moving from Pay & Go to Pay Monthly it’s got everything you need, including an online form to submit all your details. Because we know how important having your phone is, we’ll transfer your number and any top up you have left within one to four hours of you completing the form. We’ll also text you to let you know everything’s fine and transfer your loyalty bonus too. We’ll also give you a £5 Marks & Spencer’s voucher if you use it to move from O2 Pay & Go to O2 Pay Monthly before 15 March.
Finally, if you’re preparing to leave O2 the new page can give you different options on how to get in touch. We’d be sorry to see you go but will do our best to make leaving as easy as possible and ensure you have everything you need.
So that’s pretty complete, right? Fairplay to O2 for making a situation which can often be painful, become that much simpler. Porting your number in/out of a network shouldn’t a be a hard thing!
