    Yes it is. Virgin is usually recognised as being fairly easy to port
    in and then out of again after one month or so.

    Do any provider allow you to port in and pretty much straight out again or
    do some stipulate a minimum term when you've ported a number?

    Generally you have to stay for 1 month I think

    A PAC is valid for 30 days and you can't get another till those 30 days
    end. So if you got a PAC and waited 23 days before porting, you could
    get a new PAC to port out again a week later. However, if you push your
    luck something could go wrong and lose you the number.

    I've seen this statement before, but I have had two PACs issued less
    than 30 days apart and my partner has also. I think that perhaps a PAC
    is valid for 30 days or until it is used; it would make sense that once
    it is used, it is no longer valid - and so there's no reason why the new
    network shouldn't issue a new PAC.

    You are welome to take the risk. I wouldn't. It can go wrong without help.
