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 need help getting PAC code please.

I have ported my number to O2, well partially. I only receive text messages, incoming voice calls no longer works. O2 has failed to switch my number properly. Customer service is not much of help.

 

I have now decided to leave for this reason. I couldn't request PAC code via text and also via MyO2.

 

Can you please help. Thank you
