Joining Boshhh Mobile from another network and keeping your number

Joining Boshhh Mobile and transferring your number from your current network is a simple process and usually takes no longer than 1-2 working days.

Requesting a PAC (Porting Authorisation Code) from your current network is easy here is how:

• Online: Some networks will allow you to log in to your current online account and request your PAC code.
• Phone: Call your current provider's customer service phone number from your current phone.

Your PAC code is valid for 30 days, so you can request it before you get your new SIM card.

If you would like a new mobile number and don't need to keep your current number, then request a STAC code by texting "STAC" to 75075 from your current phone. This is a universal number set up by Ofcom.
