If a PAC was supplied as part of the order, that will be submitted when you first activate the new SIM onto EE's network.<BR /><BR />A port-in date will be set then, usually the following working day. This assumes activation during normal working hours - if during the evening, add an extra working day to these timescales.</P> Fri, 24 Oct 2025 07:16:30 GMT bristolian 2025-10-24T07:16:30Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/SIM-cards-Porting/How-long-for-the-PAC-transfer-to-kick-in/m-p/1577355#M55137 <P>Yesterday at 10 am I put the new EE Sim card into my wife’s phone. I made the one call from it to my phone as instructed. It is now 07:00 am the day after (Friday) - her phone number is STILL inactive. She’s freaking out and frankly I’m beginning to sweat. How long will this take? Should I put the old Sim back in so she can still be contacted? What should I do?</P> Fri, 24 Oct 2025 06:00:02 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/SIM-cards-Porting/How-long-for-the-PAC-transfer-to-kick-in/m-p/1577355#M55137 Tangowhiskydelt 2025-10-24T06:00:02Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/SIM-cards-Porting/How-long-for-the-PAC-transfer-to-kick-in/m-p/1577356#M55138 <P>Belay the above.
