I have just received a Vodafone SIM that I am switching to from Three. As it's for data only I used the STAC rather than PAC as I had no need to keep the number. I understand it is the new network's duty to initiate the termination of the old one (with the STAC), but how long does this take or when does it kick in? I have used PAC before where the number will generally transfer over within 24 hours and the outgoing SIM goes dead. However I am currently sitting here with both SIMs fully functional.
