Switch from Asda Mobile to Superdrug Mobile and keep your number using a PAC code

Ofcom’s policies have made it extremely quick and easy to switch and transfer your Asda Mobile number to Superdrug Mobile.

It’s completely free to transfer your number - you simply need to request a PAC code from Asda Mobile by sending a text message, which takes no more than 2 minutes to arrive. Once you’ve handed the PAC code to Superdrug Mobile, the switching process will take no more than 1 to 2 working days to complete.

If you want to join Superdrug Mobile and get a brand new phone number, without keeping your existing Asda Mobile number, the process is almost identical - the only difference being you will need to request a STAC code instead of a PAC code.

You simply need to request a free PAC code from your Asda Mobile number, and hand it to Superdrug Mobile.

You can hand your PAC code to Superdrug Mobile at the time of ordering a new Superdrug Mobile phone or Superdrug Mobile SIM, or you can do this after you’ve received your order. When you choose to do this is up to you - it doesn’t make a difference.

After you’ve handed your PAC code to Superdrug Mobile, your number will be transferred to Superdrug Mobile within 1 to 2 working days, and your account with Asda Mobile will automatically be closed.
