Get Talk Home PAC code to keep number & switch to Talkmobile network
Keep my Talk Home number
How do I get a PAC code from Talk Home & transfer my number to Talkmobile?
To switch your mobile number from Talk Home, contact their customer services on 579 from your Talk Home Mobile, or +44 (0)330 993 7339 from any other phone network, and request your PAC (Porting Authorisation Code).
If you wish to use the 'text-to-switch' service, simply send the SMS text
PAC to 65075
free from your Talk Home SIM to get your Talk Home PAC code by
text message and begin the porting process.
Alternatively, you can text STAC to
75075 if you want to switch and get a new Talkmobile
number instead of keeping and transferring your Talk Home number.
- Talk Home will provide your PAC (Porting Authorisation Code) either by SMS text message, email, over the phone if you contact them directly, or through an online Talk Home login.
- A PAC number is valid for 30 days. If you don't use it within thirty days it will expire and you will need to request a new one.
- Your Talk Home account will remain active until your number has been ported over to your new Talkmobile network. After the transfer is complete, your old Talk Home account will be automatically closed.
While you wait to get your PAC code from Talk Home, find the best Talkmobile online offer for you. Many of these exclusive mobile phone & SIM only deals are only available online, directly from the network providers listed here.
Got your Talk Home PAC code?
Provide your PAC code from Talk Home to Talkmobile who will then be able to port your existing Talk Home number. They will tell you what day the transfer is due to take place (usually within 48 hours).
Important: Do NOT cancel your SIM only or mobile contract before switching, otherwise you may lose your current phone number and be unable to port it over. Once you give Talkmobile your Talk Home PAC code, your old Talk Home billing account will be closed automatically when your mobile phone number is successfully ported over.
Note: Topup credit on Pre-Pay / PAYG (Pay-As-You-Go) accounts cannot be transferred over and so any remaining credit balance or bundles will be lost after the switch is complete. If you have any top-up credit left, one good option is to donate your remaining balance to a charity via SMS text message before porting your number.
Transfer my number to Talkmobile
How to switch to Talkmobile and keep my Talk Home number?
First get your Talkmobile deal and activate your new SIM card.
Once you have done that, get the following information ready for the step-by-step instructions:
- Your old Talk Home mobile phone number that you want to keep.
- The Talk Home PAC (Porting Authorization Code) from your previous network.
- The expiry date of the PAC number (valid for 30 days from the date of issue).
- The temporary mobile number from your new Talkmobile SIM card activation.
- You may also need the new Talkmobile SIM card serial number found on the back as an additional security check.
Call the Talkmobile Help Team on 5888 from your Talk Mobile handset or 0333 304 8064 from any other phone and advise them you want to transfer your number from another network. They will then tell you when the transfer will take place. On this date your original network provider will transfer the number to Talk Mobile. Your old network SIM will be disconnected and will no longer work. When this happens put your Talkmobile SIM card in your phone and turn it on.
Note: You may lose network service for a short period on the day of transfer. If this happens, turn your phone off and on occasionally, until you see the Talkmobile signal on your mobile phone screen. This will indicate that the transfer is complete, and you can now use your old phone number in your new mobile network provider.
