This guide explains how to switch from ParentShield 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.
ParentShield 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 ParentShield 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 ParentShield
Here is how to get your PAC (Porting Authorisation Code) from ParentShield:
- Text: Text "PAC" to 65075 from the ParentShield phone. ParentShield will seek authorisation from the account holder before releasing the code, so a child cannot port the number out without the parent knowing.
- Phone: Call ParentShield on 0330 122 1180.
- Live chat: Use the live chat on the ParentShield website or in the Portal.
On Roam Stage SIMs the account closes when a PAC is used or when it expires, even if unused. On other plans, an unused PAC simply lapses and the account carries on as normal.
2. Order a SIM only deal from Grade Mobile
If you have not ordered yet, compare current Grade Mobile SIM only deals below.

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