Step One
Customer requests the switching code by texting a free number, going online or calling their provider.
Step Two

Step Three
When the customer is ready to switch, they give the code to their new provider.
Step Four
Service is switched within one working day. The old service ends on the same day and there are no notice period charges to pay.
Step One
A customer can request a PAC by texting 65075, a STAC by Texting 75075 and Switching Information only by texting 85075. They can also request via online account management portals or by phone.
Step Two
A response from the provider, via the means requested or by SMS, detailing all required information including codes and related charges must be provided to business customers within 2 working days, or within 2 hours if the customer has a consumer agreement with their provider.
Step Three
Once the customer has been issued with a PAC or a STAC it is then the customer’s responsibility to give this to their new provider, the codes will only be valid for 30 days.
Step Four
It will be the new provider’s responsibility to either take ownership of the existing mobile phone number using the PAC, or to provide a new mobile phone number and ensure the old number is disconnected via the old provider by using the STAC. Either process must be actioned and complete within 1 working day of receiving the relevant code from the customer.
