HOW TO: Get your PAC Code from O2

Anonymous
Not applicable

 


Note: we have an updated guide on getting your PAC in the How-to Guides section, please see here. slight_smile

 

If you want to contact O2 about leaving or getting a PAC, you can also use the Social links below:

Seen this a lot around the forum, so I thought I'd make a post on how to do it

Firstly, give O2 Customer Service a call on 4445 fron your O2 Mobile.
Select the option which is "Join or leave O2". Then in the next menu select the option "To leave O2".

Now, you will be put through to an advisor who will ask you for your name and phone number. Then ask them for your Port Authorisation Code. You will be asked for your security password if you have set one up with them. Don't worry if you havn't sent one up; if you don't have one then you will not need to give it to them.

You will be asked if you have a pen and paper ready to write the code down. Don't worry if you haven't because they post it out to you anyway. They will ask you for your name and address so they can post it to you.

O2 may ask for a reason for leaving and the Port Authorisation Code (PAC) is only valid from 30 days of issue. Provide your PAC code to another operator if you wish to keep your existing number from another network.

Like I said there  isn't a specific one that will get you straight through, you still have to navigate the options.

Dial the number I gave you, enter your phone number when prompted then ignore the other options and press zero.
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.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.

I will be using my landline: should I enter my O2 number or my landline number?
