Perhaps if you gave details on what pees you off about your contract then we might be able to point you in a more favourable direction. I've been on Voda Uk Smartplus+Voda passport, Stop the Clock, and buying a £15 voice pack every 30 days. Just gone onto T-mobile contract, Flext at £15 a month with new phone. I'll get more use from my contract than the PAYT *but* will use the PAYT for when I go on holiday later this year. The sim will be in my 6310i just to stop the "what's this got to do with this NG" quips  As to whether your number is transferable, it's unlikely you'll be able to transfer a contract number to PAYT *but* that depends on which network you're going from/to.

My bill this month was £98, on average it is £30 a month, I have been using it a bit more this month but that is a bit daft. My contract (vodafone) is up for renewal in a couple of months and unless there is a cheap contract out there that I can keep a check on how much it will cost, PAYG seems to be the way to go unless anyone can suggest something better? Obviously my main concern with PAYG is that the call charges are higher than contract, or is that not the case anymore?

PAYG can be more expensive *but* if you stuck to Voda PAYG with the plan and option I mentioned earlier but with a 200 minute voice pack that'd cost you £25 every 30 days. Anytime/any network but if you exercise restraint <vbg> and chat 19:30 to 07:30 you only use 3 minutes of bought time and get up to an hour to chat. You can buy more than one pack per 30 day period and also buy text message packs. What you could do with doing is properly analysing your latest bill and determining what you need in terms of: daytime voice calls evening voice calls sms use MMS use - if any Have a shufty at the T-mob Flext plans they might suit your current usage though as they're monthly contract you're free to spend as much as you want or not want to. T-mob also send you a weekly SMS letting you know how much you've used and how much left of your inclusive credit. Before anyone pipes up, I should point out I don't have any affiliation or loyalty to any network

Vodafone did this type of transfer for me and that was a corporate contract phone number also. I think you at least have to be out of contract and they will transfer it to PAYG. This was a Vodafone to Vodafone transfer but they still made me get a "PAC" to do it. That was some time ago so I imagine things have gotten better/easier in this regards if anything.
