Keep my TalkTalk Mobile number

How to get a PAC code from TalkTalk Mobile & transfer my number

Contact TalkTalk customer services to request your PAC (Porting Authorisation Code) by dialing 2883 from your TalkTalk Mobile or 0345 172 0088 from another phone. Your TalkTalk Mobile will remain active until your number has been ported over to your new network. After the transfer is complete, your account will be automatically closed.

If you wish to use the 'text-to-switch' service, simply SMS text PAC to 65075 free from your TalkTalk Mobile SIM to get your TalkTalk Mobile PAC code by text message and begin the porting process.

  • TalkTalk Mobile will provide your PAC code (Porting Authorisation Code) either by SMS text message, email, over the phone if you contact them directly, or through an online TalkTalk Mobile 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 TalkTalk Mobile account will remain active until your number has been ported over to your new network. After the transfer is complete, your old TalkTalk Mobile account will be automatically closed.

While you wait to get your TalkTalk Mobile PAC code, find the best 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 TalkTalk Mobile PAC code?

Provide your PAC code from TalkTalk Mobile to your new mobile network operator who will then be able to port your existing TalkTalk Mobile 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 your new mobile provider your TalkTalk Mobile PAC code, your old TalkTalk Mobile 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.
