Hi

I recently ordered a new sim and in the process of creating the order I entered my wifes number wrong with a digit out. I didnt notice this until after the full order had gone through along with her PAC code. O2 assured me as did Lebara that the port-in would fail if one of these were incorrect but she has had an email to say that its been successful. 

 

Does anyone know if the PAC code would pick up the correct number or not during the process?

A PAC is specific to a single number so it is impossible to port an incorrect number as the PAC will override it.

The actual phone number isn't required during the request process as the PAC details will include the correct number.

So, assuming the number has ported what number do you get when she phones you

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.

Thanks for the response. Not sure yet. She is at work so doesn't have access to her phone.

Thanks. Thankfully the number did port over correctly despite my error and Lebara saying it wouldn't work
