I've got a tesco value sim card. How do I transfer my existing mobile number from Vodaphone to Tesco? Is there a vodaphone number I need to ring? Can anyone let me know what it is?

Sorry, but I hardly use the mobile and I haven't a clue!

    Contact vodafone customer services on 191 and ask for your PAC code, when you have got that then call tesco and give them the pac code and they will transfer your number

    Remember to quote the code "Port1" when you contact Tezzas cos then they'll give you an extra £5 of credit.

    Also, worth getting a new sim thru Tesco Direct cos they and the air time are half price. So for £12 you can get a Tesco Extra sim with £20 of credit. If you don't top up enough within a month, it will revert back to being a Tesco "standard" sim at no extra charge to you. Better than buying a Tesco Standard sim for £7 with just £10 of call credit.

    Well, I called Vodaphone using the freephone number off saynoto0870 (i.e. 08080 945945). They were ready to give me PAC code over phone, but offered me £5 calling credit if I stayed with them for another 30 days. Apparently I am a "high value" customer. Can't understand that since I have used may be £20 of calling credit in the last three years, and make on average one or two calls a fortnight. Anyway, it's just PAYG so nothing to lose. So I agreed to it. I just need to ring back in 30 days for my PAC code.

    Vodafone are doing this with all their PAYG customers that want to obtain a PAC code, you either get some free credit or some like 100 free minutes to stay with them for another 30 days.

    So any money savers out there who are on Vodafone who fancy a quick freebie why not try request a PAC code. The number you call is free phone anyway and also in the off chance they don't offer you anything you don't have to use the PAC.
