Switching Mobile Phone Provider - Now Easier.

[boatbuilder]

Mobile users can now switch providers with one simple text

1. Customers who want to switch and keep their existing phone number text "PAC" to 65075 to begin the process
2. Their existing provider will respond by text within a minute
3. They will then be sent their switching code (PAC), which will be valid for 30 days
4. The provider's reply must also include important information about any early termination charges or pay-as-you-go credit balances
5. The customer then gives the code to their new provider, and this company must arrange for the switch to complete within one working day
6. While most people want to keep their mobile number when they switch, about one in six do not. These customers can text "STAC" to 75075 to request a "service termination authorisation code".

Brilliant idea. It will be interesting to see how many now change suppliers.
