I'm moving to 3, but I have changed my mind, Orange can't stop it and 3 say they can't stop it, any other way?

Nope.

You've missed the cut-off time to cancel the port (the deadlines are the same for all of the networks).

I rang up 3 today and they said they would text me a PAC within 48 hours, is this normal for 3?

That's not just abnormal - it's illegal.

They're supposed to give you the PAC within 2 hours.

I suppose there may be some delay not covered by the rules due to you only just having completed a port, but I doubt it.

I rang this evening and they said I should get a text within 12 hour, so I expect I will be ringing them tomorrow night to find out why they haven't given me a PAC, Orange are so much better!

Very odd.

They should either give you the PAC instantly or send it to you as a text message within 2 hours.

look at the dates, thats the reason for the delay. He wont have even been fully set up on the network when he phoned; let alone in a position to port.

I don't think that would make a difference, the new network would be able to issue a PAC because any port processed using it wouldn't happen until the previous port had completed.

Its's due to a problem with the PAC computer generating numbers!

I should receive a call with a PAC in next couple of day's they say
