Tesco / O2

Hi...I've just got my PAC texed through from Tesco. Is that generated by Tesco or O2. I ask as I want to get on to Carphone Warehouse latest deal, via Quidco for £50 cashback. But on the CW website, the drop down menu for PAC info doesn't list Tesco, but of course O2. So I was going to select O2, insert my PAC number and hey presto. What I don't want is CW coming back and saying 'not recognised' or words to the effect. (I have to say that the CW 'help line' couldn't answer a simple question like that.)

    Does the PAC not have some first letters similar to some network name?

    Also, you can always port the number later, after receiving the new sim.

    O2 PACs start GEN (Genie Mobile) or now TEL (Telef!nica).

    Are your really looking for a trouble?
    What's wrong with porting the number after receiving the sim?
