3 refusing to issue PAC
Went online with 3 earlier to get a PAC to move a contract away from them to O2. Contract is in last 30 days, been with them for 8 years and never missed a payment. 3 refused to give PAC there and then and stated 'we will reply to you within 48 hours'. I asked to raise as a complaint and was told no. Gits. Absolutely zero reason to refuse PAC.

Why are you speaking to Three?https://www.ofcom.org.uk/about-ofcom/latest/features-and-news/text-to-switch-simple-to-switch-mobile-network - "If you want to switch and keep your existing phone number, text ‘PAC’ to 65075 to begin the process.
Your current provider will reply by text within a minute. They will send you your PAC, which will be valid for 30 days. Their reply must also include important information about any early termination charges or pay-as-you-go credit balances.
You then give the PAC to your new provider and they must arrange for the switch to be completed within one working day."

Coincidentally, I'm currently on Three and earlier today I sent for my PAC by texting PAC and my date of birth (DDMMYY) to 65075 (you'll need to send your date of birth as well as PAC, because if you don't, they'll send a text back asking you to do so). As mentioned above, a minute later a text was sent back with my PAC. So sending for a PAC via text does work.
Also, about an hour or so later, I got a text offering me a substantially better deal from Three if I stayed with them, applicable for the duration of the PAC.0 -

60GB for £1 / month? Don't think I'd have waited a minute, let alone a week, if I'd been offered that deal.0

Resolved - it was because I had used Rob instead of Robert (example) when I started the chat. So it was my fault...'Just because its on the internet don't believe it 100%'. Abraham Lincoln.
