How to Switch from Tesco Mobile to EE
Get your PAC code from Tesco Mobile
Text PAC to 65075 from your Tesco Mobile phone. You'll receive your PAC code by text within a minute.
You can also call Tesco Mobile on 4455 (or 0345 301 4455 from another phone).
Give your PAC to EE
Sign up for a EE plan and give them your PAC code. You can usually do this online at id.ee.co.uk/login, in-store, or by phone.
Wait 1 working day
Your number will transfer from Tesco Mobile to EE within 1 working day. You'll get a text when the switch is complete. Your old Tesco Mobile contract is automatically cancelled.
Transfer Cut-off Times: Submitting your PAC code before 5:30 PM usually means your number will transfer the next working day. Submitting it after 5:30 PM or on weekends/bank holidays will add an extra working day to the process.
Final Bill: You'll receive a final bill from Tesco Mobile shortly after the transfer is complete. This covers your usage up to the date of the switch.
