I'm leaving O2 and was told I could just send a text to get a 'PAC', rather than having to call, then bring 

this into the phoneshop with me.

 

I've looked in the help articles but can't find any details. Is this service available?

@EmilieT What is the latest status on this from O2 please?

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Ah OK, so I'm a little early! I was told that this morning, and was planning to return to the shop tomorrow to sign-up.  

 

I'll call for the PAC in the meantime.

 

Thanks!
