Ovivo gone forever

Talk talk offers appear to be only for talk talk existing customers.

Talk talk is Vodafone

Luckily i spent most of the credit that was on the phone using the PSN store, as you can use phone credit to put money into your PSN wallet.

I only found out about this today too, so thanks for notifying me Ovivo! How long does it take to get a PAC code?

I got all 3 of my PAC codes within 24 hours
all back with GiffGaff again now

I didn't even know that it had gone until I saw a hotukdeals email flyer, shows how much I used mine, was bought as a backup and haven't had anywhere near my £15 out of it, oh well could be worse I guess

Got my number half ported today :/

I can phone out, send texts etc but nothing comes back and if you try to phone my number it goes nowhere. Oh the joys of switching.

Dad ported his number from Vodafone to Ovivo last Tuesday. Ovivo said the number would change by Thursday.

The fact that Ovivo didn't give their customers notice is appalling!
Chances of getting his number back? :eek:

I'm in the same situation with 4 different numbers using the same pac code...

Going to ring Vodafone, but something tells me it's ovivo giving me the same pac code!

Just checked mine again and it all seems to be working fine now. Maybe it just took a little longer than usual. Hope yours gets sorted quickly too.

Got my pac code and it got changed to 3 in a day. Looking around for a hot spot sim card(if there is such a thing)

It's totally impossible to port different numbers using the same PAC, get back onto Ovivo as it's them giving out the PAC.

Are you 100% sure?

Just spoke to vodafone and three who said the number has gone through and they have escalated the problem... Should be transferred within 24hours.

If not, I'll request another PAC and try again.

tom_e · 26 Mar 2014 at 09:29

100% they should be unique.

For very light users these seem to do a one off payment sim with no topups needed unless your credit runs out.
I think I will be going over to them when I get my PAC number from Ovivo

Is it just me or is that significantly more than the '321' payg from 3?

3p vs 8p for minutes
2p vs 4p for texts
1p vs 5p for data

And credit doesn't run out on 3 either, only the top-ups do (which aren't worth doing if you're a light user)

are you refering to the sim only deal, it doesn't seem to mention about buying credit for it, doesn't the top up 30 day limit apply to this deal when you want to put more credit on the card

The same pac code worked for all 3 numbers.

You would have thought so but when we cancelled our orange business account we got the same Pac code for 12 numbers

FYI this is completely incorrect, you can use the same PAC code to port out for multiple numbers.

It surprised me when both of our PAC codes were the same number. It was accepted by GiffGaff and now we have both had an additional £5 credited to our balance, for porting the number from Ovivo.
