Switch from Honest Mobile to VOXI and keep your number using a PAC code
Ofcom’s policies have made it extremely quick and easy to switch and transfer your Honest Mobile number to VOXI.
It’s completely free to transfer your number - you simply need to request a PAC code from Honest Mobile by sending a text message, which takes no more than 2 minutes to arrive. Once you’ve handed the PAC code to VOXI, the switching process will take no more than 1 to 2 working days to complete.
If you want to join VOXI and get a brand new phone number, without keeping your existing Honest Mobile number, the process is almost identical - the only difference being you will need to request a STAC code instead of a PAC code.
Joining VOXI from Honest Mobile
Joining VOXI and transferring your number from Honest Mobile is a very easy process, and should take no more than 1 to 2 working days.
You simply need to request a free PAC code from your Honest Mobile number, and hand it to VOXI.
You can hand your PAC code to VOXI at the time of ordering a new VOXI phone or VOXI 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 VOXI, your number will be transferred to VOXI within 1 to 2 working days, and your account with Honest Mobile will automatically be closed.
1. Request a PAC code from Honest Mobile
