Text To Switch – How To Change Your Phone Company Quickly
“Text to switch” is a way for you to change services, like your phone plan or internet provider, just by sending a text message. For example, if you want to switch from one phone company to another, you can send a special text to let them know you want to change. It’s a simple way to make changes without needing to call or go online. It’s like telling your phone or internet company what you want to do, and they do the work for you after you send the text.
Text To Switch is the new system to switch phone numbers. The old system made it too hard for people to switch phone providers. According to research, about 38% of people (or around 2.5 million people) who tried to switch had at least one big problem. Even more people—7 out of 10—had some kind of trouble.
Some of the biggest problems were reaching their old provider (11% had trouble), cancelling their service (10%), and getting the right information from them (9%).
The new system is designed to fix all these problems, making it easier and faster to switch.

Once you have your PAC, simply provide it to your new provider, and they will complete the switch within one working day. You don’t need to do anything else.
