Best PAYG sim for transfering PAC to and then requesting it

jellybeans_2

Hi,

I need to transfer my phone number to a PAYG sim, and then get the PAC number from the PAYG provider to transfer it back to contract again (the only way t-mobile say I can keep my number when getting a new contract with them as it's not a upgrade).

Which PAYG sim is the best to do this- is there any which are free and also where I won't have to top it up before requesting the PAC?

Thanks

Try giffgaff https://www.giffgaff.com. They use the O2 network so you may have to get your phone unlocked but you can order a sim online (in fact everything is online) and it may come with credit already on there to get you started.

Once you get the sim, you get your pac off t mobile, enter the details online and it should switch within 24 hours (Mon to Fri). To get pac when returning to t mobile just request it online and you will receive a text message with the code.

They don't do contracts so you won't get locked in

I've looked on the giffgaff website and it says you will have to top up or buy a goody bag (minimum £10) when you activate the sim.

It's worth paying £10 to keep my number, but if anyone knows a PAYG sim that is cheaper or free I'd be very happy!

Thanks

You can buy a £5 goodybag instead of topping up with giffgaff when I last did that.

Cheers, Des.

same situation as you Jellybeans!!

need to keep my T-mobile number and move it to my other T-mobile contract, such a pain in the a$$!
got some orange sim cards but reading another thread might have changed my mind.

did you manage to get yours sorted?
