This guide explains how to switch from EcoTalk to Grade Mobile and keep your mobile number.

Most number transfers complete within 1 to 2 working days once Grade Mobile has your PAC code.

If you want a new number instead, text STAC to 75075 and give the code to Grade Mobile.

EcoTalk and Grade Mobile both run on EE's network, so your coverage will not change when you switch. You are changing provider, but your signal will still use the same network.

To keep your number, request a PAC code from EcoTalk and give it to Grade Mobile.

You can usually give Grade Mobile your PAC code when you order, or after your new SIM card or eSIM has been activated.

1. Request a PAC code from EcoTalk

Here is how to get your PAC (Porting Authorisation Code) from EcoTalk:

  • Text: Text "PAC" to 65075 from your EcoTalk 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).
  • Phone: Call EcoTalk on 033 3800 5500 from any UK phone.

2. Order a SIM only deal from Grade Mobile

If you already have your new SIM, continue to Step 3.

If Grade Mobile asks for your PAC code during checkout, enter it there. If not, wait for your new SIM or eSIM to activate, then give Grade Mobile the PAC code using the method below.

Grade Mobile is best known for refurbished phones, and you can bundle a refurbished handset with its SIM plans.

Grade Mobile does not run a credit check, so there is nothing to wait for during sign-up.

3. Give the PAC code to Grade Mobile

Once you have your PAC code, here is how to give it to Grade Mobile:

  • Online: Enter your PAC code at checkout when you order, or give it to Grade Mobile via their online contact form or by emailing contact@grademobile.co.uk.
  • Phone: Call Grade Mobile on 0808 175 2343 and give them your PAC code.

4. Wait for your number transfer to Grade Mobile to complete

Grade Mobile will send the transfer request to EcoTalk.

Your number should move to your new Grade Mobile SIM within 1 to 2 working days.
