My current 02 contract is about to expire and want a new 02 contract -
but using a cash back deal. I appreciate that wont be allowed and if I
went that route I'd lose my number.

I know its been possible to PAC numbers to PAYG and then port back
out. But its been yonks since I saw that and have no idea what network
(think it was Virgin?) I could do this with and almost imediately PAC
back out.

Anyone able to help? My Contract expires on 15th December - so another
12 days to find out! ;-)

I think you nearly answered your own question tbh.

You can PAC to o2 PAYG and this would end your o2 contract - final.

Re-apply for a new contract as this would give you another account
number and o2 number - attain special deal(s).

You then PAC your o2 PAYG back to your new o2 contract.

I seem to remember the PAC only took 2 days from o2 PAYG to new o2
contract maybe clarify first but, max would be 5 working days.

(I have three o2 contracts (1 for me, girlfriend and daughter)).

Hope this helps

That will be brilliant if it can be done! Are you sure 02 contract to
02 PAYG to 02 Contract will be ok?

Also, whats the best way to obtain a 02 PAYG? I know you used to be
able to get them free! Whats the cheapest way nowadays?

Cheers

I'm sure you can (after a contract has expired) port your o2 contract
number to a o2 PAYG.

I know you can port o2 PAYG to o2 contract as I've done it 3 times last
week on my 3 o2 contracts.

According to my browser the o2 SIMs are free:
