Myself and the other two daughters have already done that, so easy. Its like Virgin make it harder to stay with them than move.
VM have stopped PAYG for new customers, so I imagine that she wouldn't be able to continue this with a new account of her own. Their cheapest SIM only is £7 per month with not much data- much better deals are to be had.

I'd get her to move to Sky, if only not to be wound up, messed about and insulted by that dreadful offshore call centre that Virgin Mobile use.

She isnt on PAYG, as I posted previously.

30 day rolling contract
No one in our house has used PAYG in the last 15 years.

PAC number are done the next weekday, weekends don't count So you probably did it midweek. Ask on a Saturday it'll get done Tuesday, ask on a Monday and it will also be Tuesday.

Re: Move Number to New Mobile Account

Yep, as another of my daughters found out, took four days as she activated on a Saturday.

(I did warn her, but you know how they always know better )

Re: Move Number to New Mobile Account

Even if you give your PAC in advance, unless you're moving the number to an already active SIM, the process can't start until the other SIM and account is active.
