O2 PAC Code: How to Keep Your Number When You Switch

To keep your O2 number when switching, text PAC to 65075. You get a PAC code by text, valid for 30 days; give it to your new provider.

How Text-to-Switch works in the UK

These short codes work across UK mobile networks and are free to text.

Steps

1. Text PAC to 65075 from your O2 phone.
2. Note the PAC code in the reply.
3. Give it to your new provider when you order.
4. Your number moves, usually within one working day of the switch date.

Before you switch

• Check whether you are still in a contract.
• Make sure two-step codes for your accounts will keep arriving: the number moves with you, but expect a short gap.
• Do not cancel your old plan yourself; the switch ends it.

Keep your number safe after the move: read about the number transfer PIN.

Switching to O2

Moving your number to O2 works the same way in reverse: get a PAC from your current network by texting PAC to 65075, then give it to O2 when you order. Your old network's service ends on the switch date.
