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

- Phone: From your VOXI number, call 0808 0057 451
You will have 30 days to hand your PAC code to Honest Mobile, after which it will expire and you will need to request another one from VOXI.
Note: If you wish to switch to Honest Mobile, but you want a brand new number without keeping your VOXI number, you need to request a STAC code rather than a PAC code from VOXI. You can do this by texting STAC to 75075 instead.
