Was wondering how long it would be before they shut up shop, surely everyone knew is wasnt a sustainable business.

Technically, neither is 3's current lineup but their CEO will do anything for custom

It's a shame this has happened, while the industry is a bit faceless it's never a good thing to see customers unhappy, be it on a network you work for or a rival.

Considering the speed of closure I'm assuming lost funding / finance related, they had a decent idea but they needed to grow a lot quicker than they did to make the model work long term.

Some PAC codes are coming through just as the mobile number?

Sho · 20 Mar 2014 at 11:28

Mrs just received her PAC code from Ovivo about 2mins ago.

Reports also that all PAC codes been sent out are either just the mobile number or the SAME PAC code!!

Surely that can't be right?

Well the PAC code i got was just in fact my mobile number.

Does the code your wife has end 68?

Sho · 20 Mar 2014 at 11:43

No ends with 34 at the end. Looks like a real PAC code to me. Only one way to find out.

might be ok then

I haven't received my pac code yet. I hope its a legit one. How do they come? Through email or as a txt message?

Well I had my monies worth from them. Bit of a bummer not letting people know so they could get another sim up and running.

Just waiting for my pac number then off to either virgin\voda.

How long did it take?

Still awaiting my precious PAC codes!

bulb66 · 20 Mar 2014 at 12:24

I asked for the first PAC code last night around 8pm and got an email this morning at 10:43. This PAC was just my mobile number.

I then requested another code around 11am and then replied to the first email at 11:53am.

Got the new PAC email with valid code at 12:08.

I just did another request for a pac code, just incase the previous request last night didnt work cos it was overloaded with requests. Hope it comes soon i wana get it sorted asap as i need it to keep my number during sign up with talkmobile as best deal around i think for 250mins, 5000txts, 500mb data 1 month contract for £7pm. The 3g isnt great for where i live for indoors but then i have my wifi from virgin 60mb so shouldnt be a big deal.

Well, I wondered why I couldn't txt while out this morning. Now I know! It's a real shame because this was absolutely perfect for a low use phone like mine, and it gave me way more than enough of everything... which is why I had a gut instinct it couldn't last. So I'm not surprised, just disappointed.

Oh well, good things rarely last long. Enjoy them while you can.

deuse · 20 Mar 2014 at 13:28

I tried again but got
" Each submission must have unique values for the following fields. Please return and enter values that have not already been submitted:"

Hope it comes today.

rossk26 · 20 Mar 2014 at 13:38

Got my PAC code and now awaiting delivery of my THREE SIM!

Going to be annoying paying £6.90 for exactly the same thing I used to get for free!

deuse · 20 Mar 2014 at 13:43

I'm still getting in coming calls? still no pac.
