O2 PAC Code

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello everyone,

 

I was just chatting to an adviser on the O2 Chat feature however I wasn't able to get a definitive answer. What I want to know is, if I obtain my PAC Code, can I then give this back to O2 to open a new account. The reason I ask is because you can often find far cheaper deals on O2 that aren't sold directly by O2. So if I were to get one from another merchant (such as Carphone Warehouse), can I use my PAC code from my current contract to transfer over to a new O2 contract? I'm happy on O2, however I feel that the O2 Refresh prices are too much.

 

Many thanks,

 

Tom

You don't need a PAC to stay with O2.
If you don't want to upgrade directly with O2, take a new contract elsewhere then call O2 CS (202) to transfer your number to the new account.
This will immediately end your old account and generate any final fees, if they are due, so best to do this only when your current account has reached it's final date.
