If you’re thinking of changing mobile phone network, you don’t need to change your number at the same time. In fact, it’s incredibly easy to keep your existing phone number and to transfer it to your new network – all you need to do is to transfer it using a “PAC Code”. In this article, we outline what PAC codes are, how to obtain a PAC code from your current mobile network and how to use it to transfer your phone number to your new network.
What is a PAC Code?
A PAC (Porting Authorisation Code) Code allows you to change mobile phone network and to keep your existing phone number. It takes no more than 24 hours and you’ll experience no or minimal downtime during the transfer of the phone number. A PAC Code is free (your mobile operator cannot charge for it) and is normally 9 digits long (in the format ABC 123 123).
