when I ported a number from 3 previously in Oct 07 im sure my PAC started H3GXXXXXX

now I have just got my PAC via the per minute billing T&C change but it starts HTGXXXXXX

now I rekon 3 are trying to stall me by messing up my port out of 3, can anyone confirm thier recent PAC code start was HTG as im pretty sure the prefix stays the same but the following 6 digits are unique to your port

they gave me this over the phone & confirmed by text but i dont trust them ( 4 years of hell !!! ) as I had H3GXXXXXX before ( maybe to do with the new changes as per PAC's taking a day rather than 7 days )

HELP !!!
SO... now England its the Scots turn to say dont leave the UK, stay in Europe with us in the UK, dont let the tories fool you like they did us with empty lies... You will be leaving the UK aswell as Europe ;)

    Pac codes as far back as I can remember have been letters, never recal their being a number in the start? letter letter letter 6 number? You will soon know - when you give it your new provider they will tell you if its right or not
  • PAC Codes are three letters then six numbers. The three letters depend on who gave you the code:

    HTG - Three (Hutchison Telecom Group)
    VOD - Vodafone
    ORA - Orange
    OTO - TMobile (old name One To One)
    CEL (I think) - O2 (Used to be Cellnet)

    i was gave a wrong code before, now I think of it, it was my port to Voda payg that was declined not my dads from 3 to Orange, so thats why my PAC was refused - they gave me H3Gxxxxxx, lol Voda lost out on me as they never said & I just told 3 to covert to 3payg, must get a PAC for that number as sure my 6 months non top up expires in late Sep/early Oct & dont wanna lose that PREMIUM mobile number I ported into 3 to start with !

    thanks all ;)
