Porting phone number to the same network 3
Hi there,
I received the dreaded letter from three and despite my best efforts I couldn't get the customer support team offer me a better deal so received my PAC code. I since signed up to the £18 existing customer offer for 200 mins 2000 3 to 3 and AYCE data with 30GB Hotspot. I asked if it was possible to switch my existing number to the new sim but they insisted there was no way this could be done. However, I have my PAC code so can't I just port the number to a pay as you go sim then port it back to the new sim? I have an asda and an o2 sim, I heard that to get your PAC code from o2 you need to top up £10 which would be wasted. Would this work with the asda sim or do you have any recommendations? |

PAC is for porting out of the network, they are correct, but you shouldn't have needed a new number to change price plan or convert to PAYG with the same network. If you had to have a new sim / number each time you change that would be annoying.
You'll have to port out and back in, with any costs associated. |

Why can't you just ask them to swap the number to the new sim? That's fairly standard.
Also why go back with a company who won't give you a PAC code in the first place? It's like your highlighting poor customer service, but then going back to them again. |
