Stick with O2 and get a contract SIM through Uswitch?

[aw007]

I'm currently out of contract on my SIM-only plan. I contacted retentions, but the offers for a new contract are not great.

Uswitch appears to have better prices for similar plans, though they won’t price match. I’ve gone through the Uswitch offer and completed the credit check on the O2 website, but there’s no option to upgrade and keep my current O2 number and SIM card

Does anyone know how I can take the Uswitch deal and still keep my mobile number, as the PAC code only works if you're switching networks?

Choose the deal you want

This will automatically redirect you to the O2 website

Just follow the prompts and choose the UPGRADE option

Complete the deal and nothing on your account changes except the tariff at the new cheaper cost

Payment date is the same and your next bill will be at a cheaper rate and will be made up of the pro rata cost of your old tariff and your new tariff

The change should show in My O2 within 24 hours

Volt benefits will still apply as will possibly a 3 month extra such as Disney+ if applicable.

However, upgrades through uswitch were not available recently so check first, otherwise you will be into an internal migration for a new contract or porting out and back in again.

@MI5 The upgrade option via USwitch has been missing for a few days now
