PAC codes to be sent via TEXT message from 1st July
1 Attachment(s)
From 1st July 2019 you will be able to receive your PAC code for moving your mobile number to another provider via text message.
I guess if someone is in a pay monthly contract they still have to let them know they want to leave, how does that work if you want to take your number with you to another provider? https://www.ofcom.org.uk/about-ofcom...mobile-network https://www.cableforum.uk/board/atta...1&d=1561805533 |

Re: PAC codes to be sent via TEXT message from 1st July
So if i am out of mobile contract with EE and i want to move to say 3 all i have to do is do the this PAC code text thing and that will end the contract so i wont get billed monthly by EE and move my number over to 3?
Is it just like changing utility supplier then? |
Re: PAC codes to be sent via TEXT message from 1st July
I've always wondered why it has to be so complicated when upgrading your phone (but wanting to keep your existing number) with the same provider. My provider (Tesco mobile) insist on sending a new phone with a Sim card in and you have to move the old number on to that new Sim prompted by text messages. I don't understand why I can't just put the Sim from the old phone into the new one (providing they're the same size).

What are the steps we need to take to switch supplier as i have never gone from contract to contract before on 2 different suppliers?
When i can leave EE after my 24 month contract do i just... 1. Request a PAC and get it in a TEXT message? 2. Give PAC to new supplier? 2. When the new supplier asks EE for the number, will EE then cancel my contract and stop the monthly payments? Is that it or do i need to do anything else? |

I think that's how it works SnoopZ, just don't cancel EE first or you'll lose your number afaik. |

Just to be clear - this is exactly how it works now - the only difference is that to get your PAC code atm you have to ring up your current provider and ask them for it - the only change here is that you can now simply get it by via SMS. |

Will do this 26th Feb 2020!!! wish i didn't have to wait that long!
If someone wants to leave early what generally happens? I guess i still have to pay every single month i owe so i can't justify doing that. |

If you upgrade within the contract with the same provider they generally let you off the remaining data/calls/text charge but still charge you for the outstanding phone element of the charges. If you go to another provider then yes you have to cough up the full amount. |

Have a look here, not read it properly so i hope it helps, but if there is nothing there just call customer services and give them the PAC.
