Hi,
Wish to port my number to my EE PAYG sim.
However, I do not have any credit on the account at the moment - the sim is still live
Do I need credit and if so, how much?
TIA

No. you need your PAC from your existing network, which can be done by shortcode, & then give it to EE by form.

No, it's text PAC to 65075 on you existing no.

I have my PAC number to port in.
I read on another post that I could send the word PORT to 150 instead of using the form

If you already have your PAC, then yes - text PORT to 150 to start the process. Porting only progresses on working days, so you're looking at Tuesday currently.
