Newbie question about PAC code!

F1F93

Hi all,

I am just ending a 12 month sim-only contract with o2, finishing on new years day.
I wish to get a new phone as part of my new contract, possibly a galaxy S3 or similar. I have found a deal through carphone warehouse which I am happy with, although I will be calling o2 soon to ask for their best deal. Now, the carphone warehouse deal is also with o2.
Now, assuming o2 can't beat carphone warehouse, I will get the CW deal. This comes with the handset and a micro-sim.

The main question is, if I want to use the same number, should I use the PAC code? And also, this may sound rather silly, but how do I use it?! On my previous phone (switching from Tesco to o2) I got the PAC code, told the salesman this and he did everything. I presume this won't happen if I buy it online? Am I supposed to ring up o2 with the new phone and PAC code?

Thanks in advance .

If your with the same network and treating it as an upgrade then you wont need to do anything.

I got my wifes phone from Phones4U, Still with Voda. I did wonder if i would pay Voda one amount and P4u for another. But seems not. Voda take the money exactly as before.

If its a new account and not an upgrade then you probably need to give 30 days notice and get a PAC code.
