Hi @Meenaakshi Bala Shanmugam 

 

If you’re moving to another network, you’ll be able to request a PAC code from your old provider and give it to your new provider, which will begin the process in moving your number across.

Hey there ​@davesp398, sorry to hear that.

 

Please ensure you’re using an in-date PAC code, and transaction code beginning with 4.

 

If still not working, please contact our live-chat:
