What is a PAC Code?

A PAC code, or Porting Authorisation Code, is a nine-digit code that allows you to transfer your mobile number to another network. This code ensures a smooth switch, letting your new network handle the transition with your old provider. Typically, your number transfer is completed within one working day.

How to Get a PAC Code in 60 Seconds

Getting a PAC code is simple, free, and can be done in under a minute. Just:

1. Text ‘PAC’ to 65075 using the number you want to keep.
2. In some cases, you may need to include your date of birth (e.g., PAC 170487 for 17th April 1987). If additional details are needed, you’ll receive instructions via text.

You’ll instantly receive your PAC code, along with details such as any fees for leaving your current contract.

Important Notes:

• Request your PAC code before closing your account.
• PAC codes expire in 30 days.
• Ensure your account details (e.g., account number) are ready, and check if you’re out of contract to avoid early exit fees.
