Could I get existing number ported over before activating sim?
Can you have your existing mobile number ported over to a new provider before activating the sim? I purchased a new sim contract with Lebara which may not arrive until Friday. Yet my current contract ends Friday and I’d rather not have to wait and use the new providers number for a few days untill my numbers ported.

PAC code from Lyca, is the system down?
Signed up for the MSE Lyca 1p a month deal. Although the Lyca website's PAC form isn't the simplest to fill in to port your number over to them, it seems to have worked.
