EE have given me my puk number
Hi, just got off the phone to EE , we have 3 handsets with them and have done for around 14 years, was wanting to upgrade to both the iPhone 6+ and the s6 edge from the iPhone 5 and the s4, I was told that we would have to pay £209 and £159 for each handset, anyway when I told them that I could get them both for a lower price if not free elsewhere they told me that they could send me the puk codes for then. I accepted and will be looking elsewhere.
What I want to know is are they likely to ring me back within the next couple of days to offer me a better deal or not? I don't want to get a new contract with someone else and be offered one by EE too. Thanks |

I asked for mine on Sunday - often go over 10gb data so am looking to go to three - they offered me 20gb for £60 a month - declined this and they sent over the PAK.
Had a call the next day from them but missed it so I expect they will call you. |

Sorry..... <pedant>
It's a PAC. A PUK unblocks your SIM card if you enter the PIN wrong 3 times... It's also not a PAC code. Just a PAC. <\pedant> |

Thanks As Plymouth days, it is PAC numbers you needed, did you get a numerical only number or a letters+numbers code?. |

If you actually asked for, and were sent PUK numbers I doubt anything will be happening.

I fear this noble battle is already lost- cf. "PIN Number" which is in the common vernacular already.

PAC used to stand for "Porting Authorisation Code" but like many things the meaning has changed over the years.
Now it means "I want a discount" |

An PI Number would just confuse people, so would your PA Code. I guess it just shows how silly the English language is at times.
The problem is that if the companies offered retention before people went to that level, then it would be fine. However everyone knows you have to go all the way to get a discount. |

. More concerning is the hideous "would of" or "should of". Or "there" used to indicate possession. |

I always say to myself, this year I am really going to leave. I havent done yet. |
