Both are just running straight on the top of EE.would guess 1p and UW are separate too given they appear to have separate backend systems although again couldn't say for sure

Yes I mean from a PAC code perspective, are they separateBoth are just running straight on the top of EE.
Ah ok sorry my mistake. Unsure in that case; but they do use the same SIM cards (mine said UW/1p on it)Yes I mean from a PAC code perspective, are they separate
I think they use the same PAC codes from what I've heard with people on UW trying to go to 1p on hereAh ok sorry my mistake. Unsure in that case; but they do use the same SIM cards (mine said UW/1p on it)
Just a few I can think of off the top of my head:If there is going to be a list complied it might be nice to try and document the three letter prefix issued as the PAC prefix on each MVNO. I just tried to search for one and there doesn't appear to be a sensible list anywhere. I would guess that between the membership of his forum most of the prefixes could be shared.
The one you have for EE is for One2One numbers. EE numbers use EVRJust a few I can think of off the top of my head:
EE ONE
1P Mobile TLP
CMLink CMI and TSL (Depending on SIM? Unsure if both are used now?)
Ecotalk TSL
Lycamobile LYC
NOW Mobile NOW
Plusnet TSL
Popit TSL? (Not 100% sure my memory serves correctly)
Spusu SPU
TalkHome THM
Utility Warehouse TLP
O2 TEL
Giffgaff GGF
Tesco TSC
Three HTG
Smarty LCS
I THINK all of the above ones are correct but if someone notices a mistake please correct me. There's probably others I know of that will come to me later and I will come back and add to it if/when I remember.
Makes sense. All the numbers I have been moving around were ones from T-Mobile so I've clearly missed the other prefix they use!The one you have for EE is for One2One numbers. EE numbers use EVR![]()
The only 2 cents I can give for that is that a family member who was an EE customer (ex Orange) now uses smarty and when the PAC was requested, I'm fairly sure it was EVR. This was a couple years back now so I may be mistaken however.Do you happen to know about numbers originating from Orange's range? I had assumed that they would have all just been thrown in under the same prefix now. But if they are using both ONE and EVR then maybe they did something else with those ones too.
LCS supposedly means Low Cost Services or something like that, recall it being mentioned in the pastLooked through some old emails.
BTC - BT Mobile (presumably BT Consumer)
VUK - Voxi, though since that is just rebadged Vodafone I suspect the meaning is obvious
LCS - Smarty (???)
I remember getting an ONE PAC from EE at some time in the past and that would not have been a former 121/T-Mobile number, though presumably as much of the surviving EE infrastructure came from T-Mobile then maybe that's where it comes from.
What...LCS supposedly means Low Cost Services or something like that, recall it being mentioned in the past
I can't find it myself but I'm fairly sure that someone said here that LCS did mean that at some point? Xenforo search genuinely is annoying when LCS returns nothing, PAC returns nothing etcWhat...
Are you making stuff up at this point or am I missing something

Smarty = LCS (perhaps 'Low Cost Service', before they'd decided on the name?)Yep.
It's all to do with the PAC code first 3 letters. Example: I moved from Three to Smarty and despite them both being basically the same network like VF and Lebara, Three uses 'HTG' (THB if it's a business account) and Smarty uses 'LSC'. Vodafone uses "VDF" and lebara uses "LBR" I believe.
They always start with three letters. I'm guessing it was 'ONE' -...My number that originated on T-Mobile had a PAC code that would start O2O or something similar to that (One2One).
My number was originally on Giffgaff but the Ofcom spreadsheet says my number is owned by Telefonica, am I missing something?Just a few I can think of off the top of my head:
EE ONE and EVR (Thanks Bubbles for adding to this)
