multiple phones but want to swop provider

Hi everyone, i have 3 mobiles, one for me and my 2 kids (young adults) i want to swop from vodafone as i am now out of contract. I can't work out how i do this...do we all have to ask for a PAC code and choose a new provider? All the phones are out of contract. I am looking at the sky deal for me and Lebara for them as they use more data

    Yes, it is as simple as that.  Decide on provider, ask old provider for a PAC - text PAC to 65075 - insert new SIM and give PAC to new provider - the methods of doing this vary between providers, usually on line,  so check.  Insert new SIM on Mon - Thurs as it doesn't work over weekends - and the PAC is only valid for 30 days.  Using the PAC ends the contract with the old provider so you don't need to do anything in that regard.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    Lebara use Vodafone but Sky use O2, make sure your coverage is adequate for yourself.
