If you’d like to leave us and you’re not planning on keeping your current mobile number, you’ll need a 'Service Termination Authorisation Code' (STAC).

You can request your STAC by:

  • giving us a call on 43431,

  • heading over to your profile and settings page here, or:

  • texting STAC to 75075, for free.

You should receive your STAC within 60 seconds, and it will be valid for 30 days. If you want a STAC, you’ll need to be in the UK to request it.

Additional info: You can Text INFO to 85075 for free, if you want to see your latest account information.

Please note: You should only request a STAC if you want to close your existing account without transferring its number. If you wish to transfer your number you’ll need to request a PAC instead.
