Number transfer issue BT to EE. Got PAC - online form doesn't work

[gavla80]

I've got my BT PAC code, I've got my new EE SIM card in my phone and activated with the number it came with. I registered for myEE, I've put my PAC code in the EE online form https://myaccount.ee.co.uk/keeping-your-number/  and entered my old number etc but it keeps throwing me an error message saying the PAC code is not in the correct format (ABC123456) but the number I entered is definitely in that format (3-letters followed by 6-numbers)!!! I've tried copy and pasting the PAC code from BT as well as typing it in manually to no avail... What's going on?

Hi @gavla80 

Welcome to the community. 🙂

You shouldn't have to use a PAC, it should be set up to automatically port from BT to EE the next working day after registering the EE SIM.

OK, thanks for your help. Hopefully it will all be sorted automatically by tomorrow!

Let us know what happens please, @gavla80. It's usually done quite quickly during the day, but it can take up until midnight.

I have experienced exactly the same problem as @gavla80  so it might be worth checking that your transfer form hasn’t got an error

Hi @Helen205,

Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂

How did you arrange your move to EE? Did you go through it with a member of the BT Team?

If you did, they will have already set up your number transfer for you.
