2) Contact Lebara Mobile to cancel and get your PAC Code

All good things come to an end. To tell Lebara Mobile you’re ready to leave, just text PAC to 65075 to get your PAC code. It’s this short, alphanumeric code that will enable you to transfer your existing phone number to the network you want to join. You don't even need to make a phone call.

If you'd prefer to speak to somebody, just ring Lebara Mobile on one of the numbers in step 1 and ask for your PAC code.

Lebara Mobile is obliged to supply your PAC Code within two hours of your request.

What's critical to note is that PAC Codes expire 30 days after being issued. So if you haven’t used it within this timeframe, you’ll need to contact Lebara Mobile again to get a new one.

If you got a new phone, use your pin-key to unlock the handset's SIM tray. Then insert your O2 SIM.

If you went for a SIM-only deal, you can just put the O2 SIM in your existing phone.

While your number is being transferred, you'll be supplied with a temporary number to use. So you can still make and take calls and do whatever you'd normally do on your phone.

The transfer should be complete the next working day. But this varies depending on the network you're joining.

The transfer could also take a little bit longer if a weekend or Bank Holiday gets in the way.
