PAC is a Porting Authorisation Code, which you use to transfer your mobile phone number from one service provider to another different service provider.

Try using Google to search for “OFCOM PAC”, for more information.

Hi @emmanuel_katto 

 

We’ve pretty much got it above there, if you have a number you want to keep but want to take it to another network, you’ll use a PAC code to move the number over to the new network while in the same process cancelling the plan with the old network automatically.

 

Thanks for the help here @andewhite.
