Three files

Three: the number and exit file

Separate a transfer request from a cancellation.

Leaving with the number

Use the official PAC route or text PAC to 65075 from the line. Review the response and any account obligations before giving the code to the receiving provider.

Joining with a number

Use Three’s official switching process to submit the old provider’s valid code. Confirm the scheduled date and keep both SIMs until the move is complete.

Stopping without transferring

Use Three’s cancellation instructions for the service type. Handset repayment, broadband and airtime can have different closure requirements.

After an accidental closure

Contact Three promptly about number recovery. Its PAYG exit support describes recovery routes for recently closed accounts, but do not rely on a recovery window as a reason to cancel before planning a transfer.

Before you act

Confirm current details directly with the official provider. Our information is independent, general and free of a guidance fee. We do not sell or arrange services.
