Iv got a very memorable number on a three sim,iv just used my credit on it now,and want to use a pac code to bring it to my 02 sim.

My question is the 02 sim is on the classic payg tarrif 3p call 2p text 1p mb, and i have a lot of credit on it.

Will i stay on classic payg,and keep my credit when the number transfers?

I would seriously advise against  a PAC into O2 with a memorable number. There is post after post regarding porting errors on O2 with people losing numbers for weeks and in some cases months.

Technically nothing should happen to your classic PAYG credit when the number changed but again, O2 want rid so this could give them the opportunity.

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.

There is no Classic PAYG with O2 now. PAYG tariffs are Big Bundles or Rolling Plans

I know that,but i was in contact with 02 on fb,and iv got it in writing,that i will be able to stop on it although its not availible anymore.

But if a change to a different tarrif,i will not be able to move back.

As a low user the 3 2 1 rates are unbeatable on payg.

Iv no intention of changing

You may be better off looking at somewhere like 1p Mobile

https://www.1pmobile.com/ 

I'm not doubting what you were told on FB.

I have looked at 1p,but you still have to top up every 3 months.

With 02 you only have to top up when needed.

I'm aware of that @Enlli but I'm not sure that changing anything re Classic is a good idea nowadays.

I've read of similar problems with other Classic customers. As you've said yourself 'O2 want rid'.
