Lycamobile PAC Code: Keep Your Number & Change Network

Whether you're joining Lycamobile or leaving for another network, it's a straightforward process to keep your existing phone number.

If you're leaving Lycamobile to join another network, or if you're leaving another network in order to join Lycamobile, it's super easy to keep your current phone number.

All you'll need to do is to request a PAC Code. It's totally free and the entire process of transferring your phone number should normally take no longer than one working day.

For detailed instructions, please choose the option that best applies to you:

• I'm leaving Lycamobile and joining another network
  Transfer your Lycamobile phone number onto a different mobile network.
• I'm joining Lycamobile from another network
  Transfer your phone number from another mobile network to Lycamobile.
• I'm upgrading my Lycamobile phone or SIM card
  Transfer your phone number from one Lycamobile account to another Lycamobile account.

Leaving Lycamobile For Another Network

If you're leaving Lycamobile to join another mobile network, you can take your phone number with you using a PAC Code from Lycamobile.

There are three ways to request a Lycamobile PAC Code:

1. Online: You can get a PAC Code from Lycamobile by logging in to the Lycamobile Account website. Once you've logged in, go to Account Manager > Leave Lycamobile.
2. By Text Message: You can get a Lycamobile PAC Code sent to you via SMS text message. Text PAC to 65075 to receive a PAC Code from Lycamobile.
3. By Phone: You can get a PAC Code by calling Lycamobile. To do this, call them on 322 using your Lycamobile handset. Alternatively, dial 020 7132 0322 from any other phone. You'll need to call during Lycamobile's opening hours (Monday-Friday 8am-8pm, Saturday 9am-6pm, Sunday 9am-6pm).

It's always free to get a PAC Code from Lycamobile, and it's your legal entitlement to be able to recieve one. If any cancellation fees apply to your Lycamobile contract, they should also tell you what this will be at the same time as sending you a PAC Code.

Once you have your Lycamobile PAC Code, you'll need to provide it to your new mobile network operator. For detailed instructions, please select your new mobile network from the following dropdown menu:

Don’t want to keep your Lycamobile phone number? You can request a STAC Code from Lycamobile instead.

Joining Lycamobile From Another Network

If you're joining Lycamobile from a different mobile network, you should ask your old mobile network to provide you with a PAC Code. The PAC Code will allow you to transfer your phone number to Lycamobile.

After getting a PAC Code from your old network, you should order your new phone or SIM card directly from Lycamobile's website. For more information, please select the type of tariff you're wanting to move to:

• Free SIM Card

When Your New Phone Arrives...

Once your new phone or SIM card arrives from Lycamobile, switch it on and make sure everything's working correctly. If, for whatever reason, you need to return or change your handset or SIM card, it's best to do this before transferring your phone number.

Once you're happy to continue with the transfer, your PAC Code should be submitted through Lycamobile's online form. Alternatively, you can give the PAC Code to Lycamobile by calling 322 on your Lycamobile handset. You can also call 020 7132 0322 from any other phone.

Once you've provided your PAC code to Lycamobile, your phone number transfer will normally be scheduled for the next working day (Monday to Friday only, excluding English bank holidays).

Sometimes, you’ll be given the option to provide a PAC Code at the same time as when you order your new phone or SIM card. We’d typically recommend against providing your PAC Code at this stage. Instead, waiting for the new phone or SIM card to arrive from Lycamobile first will allow you to make sure it’s working correctly and will make the process of cancelling or returning much easier.

Upgrading Your Plan On Lycamobile

If you're simply upgrading to a newer handset or tariff, it's not necessary to get a Lycamobile PAC Code. You can simply upgrade via Lycamobile's website. For more information, please select the type of Lycamobile price plan you're planning to move to:

• Free SIM Card
