Can't find my PUK code

Empyrean1 — Fri, 29 Sep 2023 10:00:27 GMT

I want a PUK code to port my number. when I log into my account I don't have a menu option or a Manage Device option. I don't want to hang on for 30 minutes waiting for someone to answer my call. Surely there's an easier way than this? Maybe I could SMS???

Hi @Empyrean1

Thanks for coming to the community.

You won't need a PUK code to transfer the number, the PUK is to unlock the SIM card if this is blocked.

If you wish to transfer the number you would need to request a PAC. You can text 'PAC' to 65075.

For full details please see our What is a PAC Code and How Do I Request One? Help page.

Hi Leanne

Apologies I realised that after I'd pressed "send" and couldn't edit it. I've tried SMS to 65075 and get a message saying I need to get a premium setting to text to that number. All I want to do is port my number...

No problem at all @Empyrean1

In this case, you would need to call us on 150 and the team will provide the PAC for you to transfer the number.

Can't wait 30 minutes hanging on for somebody to speak to though. It might help if I din't have to listen to that awful music
