Hi everyone,

I am about to order my new phone (n97) and had a few questions before I do.

I would like to keep my current number. I am with o2 at the moment and am moving to T-Mobile. If I order my new phone from T-mobile today but don't get the PAC code until after I receive my new phone can I still pass it over? Or do you need to supply the PAC code when ordering?


Also, I am going to be buying through mobilephonesdirect. Has anyone got any horror stories about them or are they seen as a legil company?

Thanks very much for your help everyone.

    Thanks for the reply Fox. Doesn't sound too good to be honest. Might have a look at other companies.

    Do you know about the PAC code issue?

    Does anyone know whether I have to give my PAC code before I order or after I receive my phone?

    you can call o2 for your pac code, some take 1-2 days to give it, after you get it you would have like a month to give to your new provider, if you have not done so within that time then its not a problem you can call them back again and they will issue you with another one.
