How Long Is a PAC Code Valid For?
PAC Code Validity Period
A PAC code is valid for 30 days from the date it is issued. If you do not use it within that time, it expires and you will need to request a new one.
What Happens When a PAC Code Expires?
Nothing changes. Your contract continues as normal and your number stays with your current network. Requesting a PAC code does not commit you to leaving — it simply gives you the option to port your number within the 30-day window.
Can You Request a New PAC Code?
Yes. You can request a new PAC code as many times as you need. There is no limit and no charge. Simply text PAC to 65075 again to receive a fresh code valid for another 30 days.

Business Tip
If you are switching multiple business mobiles, request all PAC codes on the same day so they are valid for the same 30-day window. This makes coordinating the switch much easier.
