Iphone and PAC Codes

I was told that i could get my PAC code really quickly but then Vodafone said 5 days. I have an Iphone here and ready - can I proceed activation without the PAC code and port the number over later?

Thanks

Re: Iphone and PAC Codes

Wrong you can port your number over anytime within your 18 months contract. just ring 2302 from your iphone with your pac code

Re: Iphone and PAC Codes

I think dejongj was referring to the 30 day PAC Code limit.

Re: Iphone and PAC Codes

I was with T-Mobile and I called them on the phone to request my PAC code and they gave it to me over the phone then and there.

Nope I was actually referring to within 30 days of activating the iphone with a new number you can port it in....

At least that is what O2 told me. I had a problem on release night getting my PAC recognised, I called O2, they told me to activate with a new number and no port. But, I had to port the number in within 30 days of activating the new number as otherwise they won't do it....Considering I had this trouble with Vodafone once I stuck to it...

Best for the OP is to contact O2 himself, customer services is pretty good...

It is 30 days with O2. My friend got an O2 contract a month before his old t-mobile one was expiring. Now they won't allow him to port his old number in, because his O2 contract is over 30 days old.

Re: Iphone and PAC Codes

Think this has gone the course now, im sure O2 customer services could answer this if there is any doubt.
