To keep your number, request a PAC code from Chattr and give it to Talkmobile.
You can usually give Talkmobile your PAC code when you order, or after your new SIM card or eSIM has been activated.
1. Request a PAC code from Chattr
Here is how to get your PAC (Porting Authorisation Code) from Chattr:
- Text: Text "PAC" to 65075 from your Chattr phone. You will get a text back with your code within a minute. This is a free service from Ofcom (the UK's communications regulator).
- Email: Email Chattr at hello@chattr.co.uk to request your PAC code.
Chattr is an online-only network with no stores or phone line.
2. Order a SIM only deal from Talkmobile

If you already have your new SIM, continue to Step 3.
If Talkmobile asks for your PAC code during checkout, enter it there. If not, wait for your new SIM or eSIM to activate, then give Talkmobile the PAC code using the method below.
Talkmobile does not run a credit check, so there is nothing to wait for during sign-up.
Talkmobile offers eSIMs, so you can switch without waiting for a physical SIM to arrive.
3. Give the PAC code to Talkmobile
Once you have your PAC code, here is how to give it to Talkmobile:
- Online: Enter your PAC code at checkout when you order, or fill in the switch form on Talkmobile's website.
- Phone: Call 5888 from your Talkmobile phone (free) or 0333 304 8064 from any other phone (charges may vary). Support is open Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm, Saturday 9am to 6pm, and Sunday 10am to 5pm.
4. Wait for your number transfer to Talkmobile to complete
Talkmobile will send the transfer request to Chattr.
Your number should move to your new Talkmobile SIM within 1 to 2 working days.
