When I visit ee.co.uk/transfermynumber I am prompted to enter my PAC.
After doing that, I am prompted to select my new EE number from a dropdown, and enter my old BT number (that I want to keep).
After doing that, I am taken back to the PAC screen with the following error message:
Please make sure you enter the right code. Your PAC will look like ABC123456. Your STAC will look like 123456ABC.
If I go ahead and re-enter everything, I am taken back to the same place.
My PAC is in the correct format, I double-checked it on bt.com. I double-checked all the numbers.
How can I proceed with the transfer?
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

I'm having the same problem with the porting form, keeps saying "Please make sure you enter the right phone number. It must be a UK phone number and start with 07."

Hi @elaine102
Thanks for coming here.
Have you already provided the PAC when setting up the contract?
Which network are you transferring your number from?
Thanks.
Leanne 🙂

No, I ordered a free sim card and I'm following the instructions that came with it. Transferring from o2. Thanks.

Thanks @elaine102
Have you put the EE SIM card in a device to register the SIM on the network? If not, can you try this and then try and complete the form?
Leanne.

Thanks @elaine102
In this case, please call us on 150 from the EE SIM and our mobile guides will take the details and help you get the transfer set up 🙂
Leanne.
