I am on monthly pay with Single point on the vodafone network. My contract is finishing on 30th Jan and when I rang them up and told them that I want the PAC code as I have already got a 3 phone... they told me that I have to pay them 20£ ....
Is there any way I can have my number shifted to 3 without paying any money.
Thanks

Singlepoint do, and always have. They are a service provider, not a network.

By law networks are not allowed to charge for a PAC code. However singlepoint get around this by calling it a £20 admin charge.

They don't charge though if you move to Vodafone (direct).

Singlepoints being phased out now anyways.

Vodafone (and o2 for that matter) are the network/service providers, signlepoint act as the side of the company that deals with bill payments etc.

You dont actually sign up to singlepoint, when you join vodafone, you will get your bill from singlepoint on behalf of vodafone. Whether singlepoint is being phased out I do not know but it doesnt make any real difference to your phone/contract. If vodafone decide to phase out singlepoint, your bill will come direct from vodafone or the new company they get to manage the bills.
