Switch from BT 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 BT number to Superdrug Mobile.

• Jump straight to instructions

It’s completely free to transfer your number - you simply need to request a PAC code from BT 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 BT number, the process is almost identical - the only difference being you will need to request a STAC code instead of a PAC code.
