    The only network rep that's ever said anything about this is of no use to you, as it was Orange ! (what are the odds...).

    You can port in in the morning and request your pac in the afternoon.

    I'd say you could port into any network and then call a couple of days later and say that you've found you've got a really poor signal and need to move to another network. They have to give you your pac when requested, I've never seen a time limit stated anywhere ?
  • thanks jon

    true they cant deny you a code that i know-good idea to say signal is bad
