Getting a sim for family visiting from abroad

I have family coming to the UK from abroad for a holiday and they would like to get a sim to use while here as it's cheaper for them. I am ordering one online and have come to the section re PACs and STACs. Can I just ignore this as it's not a case of transferring the number but of them using the allocated number on the sim card in their own phone?

Also, I seem to have to give direct debit details but this is only for their use for a short time.

Hello @ll48

Are you purchasing a SIM with a pack?

Please ignore the option to provide a PAC code if not transferring a number.

Yes. Ok, thank you!

@ll48 : You don't pay for PAYG by DD nor are you asked for DD details when buying a PAYG SIM. So are you ordering a contract SIM under your own EE a/c? If so, you will be paying for it along with your own contracts.
