I reckon if I PAC my number out I will have to pay the rest of the contract off which I don’t want to do. Think I will have to leave the number where it is for now!I moved my Three number to Tesco last year. The Three account was still accessible to view online, so it was not closed as such.
When I started a new contract with Three, I could not get access to my3 with the same email, this seems to be intrinsically linked to a number/account. Spent quite a while in the online chat with Three CS to get to the bottom of that. Luckily, I have another email address I could use.
You can, their new system allows multiple lines on a single login.Why they can’t have a single account for more than one SIM like EE I don’t know

FYI Three didn't allow the + addressing 7-8months ago, when I last triedSome email providers support + addressing (Gmail for instance does) so you can do email+3acc1@domain.tld .etc , as to if 3's login form can handle it is another matter.
It would be easy enough to test this just send yourself an email with something appended to the end and if you get it then you know it works.
Yes Three’s system is pretty restrictive. I had three accounts for 3 SIMs but at least I could login using each number but have the same email. They then changed their system login to include the email address.

As you have discovered they do not support a PAC and a new number so you have to wait and request a PAC towards the end of contract. If they are barring reuse of previous email addresses the solution is probably is to create a unique one for THREE that you can throw away when needed.
The number of times access to THREE accounts is down is also frustrating. We will have to await what they do on the merge but it will these restrictions will probably with us for some time.
I think their site is poor even compared to MVNOs.
