Investigating - We’re currently experiencing a technical issue with our website and app that is preventing members from getting their PAC (Porting Authorisation Code) or STAC (Service Termination Authorisation Code).
If you try to request a code online, you will likely see an error message (like a ‘oops seems live we’ve got gremlins’’ error).
