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

Many thanks

Can I port in directly from the phone by short code, or a form

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

Thanks again. I thought I could send PORT to 150 to start the process

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.
