PAC Code - Pay&Go SIM transfer

Hi,

I am currently looking at using my current Three contract PAC Code to move onto a new contract with Three.

Which network would be best to transfer my number to so that I do not need to top-up on Pay&Go SIM?

Kind regards

Id take a look at Smarty, they have some pretty good deals and one month contracts.

So you just want a SIM to port out to another network, and then port back in to Three? To move numbers from one contract to another?

I know for a fact that you can use Tesco Mobile SIMs to do this. They don't require top-up for port in + port out. I know because I've done it several times for customers.

As a reminder, porting out and back in is only a workaround for networks that don't allow PAYM->PAYM number transfers (also called migrations). I'd recommend finding out first if your network can transfer numbers internally before you use this approach.

Ideally you could just take the new contract and ask Three to move your number across.

Hope this helps. And hope you're not talking about something else!

Only network that allows customers to internal transfer with a PAC code is unbelievably O2.

We also have access to internal transfers at work (TM) because we share some of the same systems as O2. We just pass security and get back office to do it.

The most common example is when the number is on the wife's account but the customer wants to move it to their own account.

Like it's such a silly oversight that we get customers sent in from the local EE store trying to get SIM cards so they can do the whole porting out -> back in thing 🙄🙄
 
Hi thank you everyone for this info! I will use Tesco mobile pay&go as it doesn't require top up :) much appreciated
