How do I keep my number when leaving EE?

The text-to-switch initiative (launched by Ofcom in July 2019) enables users to request their Porting Authorisation Code (PAC) or Service Termination Authorisation Code (STAC) with one simple text message. This means that switching should now be comparatively quicker and easier than before.

If you are unable to use text-to-switch because you have more than one number on your account or an extra piece of kit (eg. a tablet or Apple watch) on a pay-as-you-go, you may need to log onto your online account or call your provider. Wherever possible, we advise using text-to-switch, or requesting your code online, to help safeguard against robust retention techniques.
