How to get your PAC code from popular networks across the UK

Updated over a month ago

To move your phone number to us, you’ll need to get a PAC code from your current network. Most networks make this pretty tough by asking you to phone them up at which point their sales team will try and persuade you to stay.

To keep things as simple as possible, we’ve done the hard work for you and got all the contact details for the big networks and popped them below.

🔢 Step-by-step guide

  1. To get your PAC code, simply text “PAC” to 65075 – it’s free!

  2. Alternatively, if you’re with us, you can request your PAC directly in the Honest app, to do this:

    • Open the Honest app.

    • Click on the SIM you want to request the PAC for.

    • Scroll down and click on “Get PAC.”

🤩 Helpful tips and additional info

  • Free PAC codes: Every network has to give you a PAC code if you’re outside your minimum contract period.

  • 30 days only: PAC codes are only valid for 30 days, so make sure you use it within 26 days! (You can't transfer on weekends or bank holidays).

  • Changed your mind? If you don’t use your PAC, your old network might assume you’ve changed your mind and will keep charging you. If you decide not to use your PAC but still want to cancel, make sure to contact your current network.
