Joining EE and keeping my current mobile phone number

Hi, are these steps correct?

Text "PAC" to 65075 with your current SIM still activated in your phone;
Put new EE SIM into your phone (and restart);
Text "PORT" to 150. It will ask for current phone number and your PAC code.

BTW, is this "PORT" to 150 texting method unique to EE? I don't believe O2, Three, etc use this texting system. Very nice and quick!

Thanks

Yep that's it!

EE's porting via text is a brilliant feature I have to say, makes it very simple to get the port initiated on your own time as opposed to just at the point of sale.

Hi @Pixel_4a

As @Matt_124 confirmed, those steps are the correct process.

Just to let you know, our Getting Started | Keep your number | EE page gives more details on the steps, as well as further information about the transfer process and timescales, which you may find helpful.

Great to have you join us at EE!
