Pay as You Go Number Porting

Mr-X

How often can you port from pay as go to other pay as go go providers could you say port over one week spend the free credit then move back and forth a keep getting free credit?

Yes, nothing to stop you, but no one does it.

Think they wised to it though didnt they? o2 spreads credit over a long time. in any case the average revenue per user is the highest in the world. people will talk in ireland to their girlfriend/ wife for 30 minutes when they are just around the corner...
to the mobile companies giving cheap phones and credit makes great business sense.

Hmm, why not? It seems like a really good idea (unless there is a lot of hassle with porting?)

sorry mate,

the networks already thought of that.

Say u port to O2. You have to buy a sim card with free credit. Now lets say you port to vodafone, then meteor. When u come back around to port back to O2, you don't buy a sim card. You become a port resume. So basically, your prepay account is reactivated and you get a sim replacement with no credit on it.

@Gummy Panda
I think when you reregister on the O2 website you may get the credit again.
