I have same issue, have a pac code from three network, can't use it. Getting same response as above using the refered method, don't think it likes the 9 digit order number mobiles.co.uk,

Think this is the transaction number?

Reading on hear that the pac can be entered through the id app, there's no where on this for this to be entered?????

Anyone can help with this....

Hi @Illloyd3.

The transaction number to use on the number switching form will need to begin with a 4.

Do you have this transaction number? It should be listed on one of your receipts/invoices.

My number hasn't transferred,  I include pac number with purchase. Not happy I can't contact someone just going around in circles in chat groups. Why isn't live chat actually with an employee

I am having the same error message when trying to filll out the PAC form. 
 

is the transaction number the same as order number? I have no welcome email or invoice documents. I have checked spam/trash/archive & there is nothing on there. 
 

Where can I find transaction number? Does it need to start with a 4 as stated above? 
 

I want to keep my old number!
