How to switch business mobile provider and keep your numbers

To switch mobile provider and keep your number, text “PAC” to 65075 from the phone you’re moving. You’ll get a PAC code, valid for 30 days, to give to your new provider. Under Ofcom rules the switch must be completed within one working day, and your old provider can’t charge you for any notice period after the switch date. For accounts with several lines, codes can also be requested from your current provider’s business team – or your new provider can manage the whole move for you.

Business SIM-only deals: how to choose the right plan

A business SIM-only plan gives you calls, texts and data without a handset, usually for much less than a phone contract. To choose one, check coverage where your team works, how much data each person really uses, whether there’s a contract, and whether you can manage all your lines on one bill. AVAIO offers business SIMs on O2 from £12 and Vodafone from £19.99 per month, plus EE on request – with no contracts.
