can't get PAC code


I've been trying since last Tuesday - text 65075, use app, phone customer complaints, speak to agent in live chat. None work. Keep getting 'we've encountered an issue with your PAC request...'. they can't tell me what the issue is. So I've decided to cancel the contract and go to O2 without the code. It's annoying because I now have to reset the phone number in every account that uses it for ID.

 

Very poor customer service

There was an issue last week preventing people from obtaining a PAC, but the issue has been fixed, and you should now be able to obtain a PAC.

I gave up in the end and just resorted to changing my number for every bank etc that uses it for ID. I was online for ages to an 'agent' who seemed to be refusing to acknowledge that there was an issue. I copied and pasted the error message but he just refused to read it. I doubt you'll get anywhere if I'm honest. If there is a technical problem then it's been there ever since April 14 when I first tried to get the PAC and no one seems able to fix it. I seriously doubt that there is a problem. It's more likely something to do with the account.

Hi ​@Donna O'Neill Neeson 

 

We are very sorry to hear this. 

Did the team advise this was due to a problem with the system or your account?

If you wish, we can send you a PM and raise the request for you?

 

Thanks,

Hi  Natalie yes they said it is due to a problem with the system, terrible. That would be great if you could do that for me, I would really appreciate it.
