You can keep your existing mobile phone number from your current pay as you go or contract phone when purchasing a new mobile package from Phones4.co.uk depending on which network you want to transfer to. If you are unsure of your eligibility to port then please use our porting guide.

2) Contact your existing network provider to request your PAC (Porting Authorisation Code)

3) Contact your new network provider on the appropriate number below and quote your temporary number (the number your new phone is registered to), your existing number that you want to keep and the PAC.
