Port number out but keep contract

Hi,

Is it possible for me to port my T-mobile number to a new iphone PAYG,
but keep the T-mobile contract alive (it has 12m left)? I want to buy
an iphone PAYG, and I really don't want to have to close the T-mobile
account just to keep my number when I could give it to my gf.

Thanks,

John

AFAIK, no - the very act of porting closes the original account.

No it's not. Porting out will end the contrat.

How annoying! I guess there's nothing in it for them.

As previously pointed out prting will close the contract anyway. Whether you close or port/close the T-mobile contract you'll have to pay off the remaining 12 months.

I don't know whether T-mobile would allow you to get a PAYG SIM and swap the numbers over. Then you could port your number, which would be on PAYG leaving the contract in place.

Unfortunately not.

Your earlyterm for the pac code would be 12 x *current plan charge*

This would then cancel your account.
