Is there a time limit for porting PUK numbers from a old carrier to a new in use carrier, ie old still in use Orange to my new contract sim with virgin...
as far as i know/remember (i maybe wrong) the transfer code they give you lasts for a month, if you don't transfer your number by then you have to call up again and get a new code

Re: Porting PUK's
Just read about your PUK/PAC mix up. The info I gave was actually relating to a PAC code. So if you get a PAC code from your old provider you have a month to use it, if you don't use it you will need to get a new PAC code. If your old sim isn't used for a while, usually 12-18 months, your old number and sim may be disabled and might not be able to port your munber over.
