▲ How to keep the same number when you buy a new phone in another network?

Every mobile number has a PAC code, which is an authorization number for getting this mobile number. According to the regulation, any telecommunication company should provide PAC code within 48 hours after customers’ request. To do this you must: be outside your contractual obligations to your existing Network or Service provider (commonly 12 months after you got your current phone). Regardless you are a pay as you go or pay monthly customer, you can keep your exiting number when you buy a new phone from different network, which is very easy to realize.
Step 1 Order your new phone.
Step 2 Request a 'Porting Authorization Code' also known as a 'PAC' reference. You need to request this by calling Customer Services department of your current Network or Service Provider. You will find their contact details on a recent bill or statement from them. Note: for Vodafone and O2, you need to provide the PAC when you order your phone, so do this before ordering your new phone.
At the beginning, your phone will be connected with a 'temporary number'. When you get your phone you must contact your new Network directly on the relevant number from the list below quoting your 'temporary number' along with the number you wish to transfer across (your existing number) and your PAC code.

T-Mobile

0870 606 0139

Orange

0800 376 2285

3

0870 733 0333

Virgin Mobile

0845 6000 789

BT Mobile

Important—Do not 'cancel' your existing contract as disconnected numbers cannot subsequently be transferred. When you provide your PAC number to your new network your existing contract will automatically be cancelled. Your number transfer is processed by your current & new network. So if something goes wrong we'll do our best to help but we are sorry that we can not accept any responsibility for failed/delayed number transfers.
