Using a new SIM while waiting to request a PAC after switching networks?

Beastslayer47

Hi everyone,

I was previously with Lebara and transferred my mobile number to Three. The number was transferred today. I want to switch back to Lebara because of a great deal

I’ve already bought a new Lebara SIM, which I want to transfer my original number onto. However, when I tried requesting a PAC from Three by texting 65075, I received a message saying there was a technical fault.

I called Three customer services, and they told me that because my number only transferred to Three today, I need to wait before requesting a PAC.

My questions are:

1. Can I use my new Lebara SIM in the meantime, even though it has a temporary number?
2. Will using my new Lebara SIM affect my ability to request a PAC from Three tomorrow?

I want to keep my original mobile number, but I’d like to use my new Lebara SIM while waiting rather than continue using Three which has no plan at the moment.

1. Yes.
2. No.

You can use the temporary number until your number ports over.

Yes I do this all the time.

I put both sims in my phone and then tell my phone which one I want it to use for each of calls, messages and Internet.
