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