Can I keep my phone number?
Yes, you'll need to provide us with a PAC (Porting Authorisation Code) which is always made up of
three letters and 6 numbers. Request this from your current supplier, the code lasts for 30 days so
please try and ensure that you provide it to us in good time.
What happens when I 'port' my number
If you are keeping your current handset then you'll continue to use it in the normal way until you lose
the service from your existing network. You then switch off the handset, remove the old SIM card and
replace it with the new one we have provided.
If you are changing handsets, then when the existing SIM card loses service you should switch
to the new handset with the new SIM card we have provided.
Service will be lost for around 3 hours on the porting day. This usually happens some time between 11am and 3pm
and always between 9am and 5pm at the latest.
Do you supply handsets?
We offer free Nokia handset for Business 400, Business
600 and Business 1000 customers. More advanced Nokia and Blackberry models are also available at subsidised rates.
For customers spending over £30/month on other tariffs there is the option of a free Nokia 6080 handset or cashback up to £100.
Sim-only customers will need to supply their own handset. See this page for
some links to places where you can get a reconditioned phone.

Can I use the service overseas?

If your phone is compatible then you will need to set up your phone by accessing your phone manufacturer’s website. Look for product support and set up or configuring for internet/email/picture messaging.
All handsets are enabled for WAP browsing and picture messaging once these settings have been saved and activated on the handset, however if you experience any problems please contact us.
