The answer: probably.

I can categorically state that this isn't true (because I've done it),
although it's exactly what O2 tried to tell me, when I first asked
about it. I'd been made redundant, but wanted to keep my phone number,
and transfer the number and account from the company to me personally.
I wanted to stay on O2, but they told me it was impossible to use a
PAC to transfer to the same network. I found that if you ignore their
customer service department, and just take your PAC code into a shop
and ask for a new contract, it all Just Works(tm).
