hello!

I want to transfer my number from Lycamobile to Three.

I asked them (lyca) to give me my PAC, but it's been weeks and they don't respond to my multiple emails.

What can I do?

thanks

    Most network require you to call them for PAC . So you will need to call them not email

    I emailed them twice for a PAC, on the second email I threatened to report them to OFCOM if I didn't receive the PAC and also cc'ed OFCOM into the email.

    I received the PAC by email reply about 4 hours after sending the second email.

    As I’m sure you are aware, OFCOM regulations oblige communication providers to allow their customers to take their mobile number with them if they choose to switch to a different provider.

    Under the Mobile Industry Porting Process, the PAC should be issued immediately over the phone or within a maximum of two hours by SMS. I have yet to receive the PAC I requested. If you are unable to issue the PAC, plea

    Forum seems to have gone mad, it is refusing to add the [/quote] at the end of the post, nor will it allow me to add the last sentence, and is saying I'm blocked from performing the action :mad:.

    The end should read
