To transfer your phone number to Honest Mobile with a Classic SIM, you need a PAC code from your current provider.
How to get your PAC code ☎️
Text 'PAC' to 65075 from your current phone
You should receive an SMS with your PAC code immediately
Your PAC code is valid for 30 days from the date it's issued
🔔 Ensure there are no outstanding balances with your current provider, as these can prevent successful transfers.
