End of a 24 month mobile phone contract - talk me thru this

[ScrumbleBumble]

I want to keep my number

Go onto a sim only deal

Quidco thru 3 offer a 12 month £8 25g deal with cash back which I'd like to use

If I go thru quidco and use this deal, I'll get a new number, right?

What do I do next so that I can use this deal but keep my old number?

Talk me thru the steps so that 3 do t just take another £45 dire t debit from me next month

As Martin Lewis explains on MSE - if you text PAC to 65075 you are entitled to receive your PAC which you will need to unlock your cell/keep your number if and when you switch. The text also gives you other information.

I just did it with my current phone provider
