spusu PAC Code: keep your number and switch networks

Ofcom’s policies have made it extremely quick and easy to switch and transfer your existing number to spusu, as well as leave spusu and transfer your number to a different network.

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

Switching to and from spusu is very easy:

• Joining spusu: transfer and switch your current number to spusu
• Leaving spusu: transfer and switch your spusu number to a different network
• Upgrading with spusu: keep your number when renewing or upgrading your contract

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

Joining spusu from another network and keeping your number

Joining spusu and transferring your number from a different network 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 current network, and hand it to spusu.

You can hand your PAC code to spusu at the time of ordering a new spusu phone or spusu 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 spusu, your number will be transferred to spusu within 1 to 2 working days, and your account with your previous network will automatically be closed.

Requesting a PAC code is quick and free. The easiest way to do this is via text:

You will have 30 days to hand your PAC code to spusu, after which it will expire and you will need to request a new one.

Note: If you wish to switch to spusu, but you want a brand new number without keeping your existing number, you need to request a STAC code rather than a PAC code. You can do this by texting STAC to 75075 instead.
