Pac code on new PAYG sim - no credit

I have ported my phone number to an o2 PAYG SIM only to realise the signal in my area is extremely poor 0 to 1 bar.

The only option I can see is to move again to another provider. But o2 say I can only receive a PAC via text message. I do not want to waste £10 simply to send a message to move elsewhere.

Does anyone know why they cannot simply provide the PAC over the phone?

NB: I am able to receive texts and calls.

I've also recently ported to a payngo sim but discovered I don't receive 4G at home.  I need 4G as a backup when working from home.  Unfortunately my number is not showing in myo2 and even after adding £10 of credit and I text PAC to 65075, all I get is a reply saying there has been a problem processing your request, please try again later.   I need to port back to previous provider ASAP.  Please can you help me get a PAC code?

Hi @Cleoriff would you be able to help? I don’t seem to get more than 1/2 bars which isn’t helping. I’ve had multiple people who haven’t been able to get through so I need to port out ASAP Thanks! I’ve tried requesting from the online portal but it keeps giving me errors.

@mshaw92 @JamesWallace 

It sounds like you have both just ported into O2, if so, you cannot get a PAC to port out for 30 days from the port in date.

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.

I can't help @mshaw92 as I have no idea when you ported in to O2. However if less than 30 days then you will have to wait as posted by @MI5 above.

Thanks all for the quick replies.  I'll just bite the bullet and wait 30 days.

 

Cheers,
