Yes you can when you sign up on the PN site and use the PAC code system, well I did anyway.

Thanks @Apprentice
I should clarify. I did not have the PAC when I signed up another account. So no automatic porting by PN.
I have the PAC now but the sim card hasn't arrived and neither has the email from PN to advise of the new number .

but the sim card hasn't arrived
SIM cards are sent via Royal Mail and so in the current situation , may not be delivered in some areas in the expected 24/48 hrs. So TBH its probably best to wait for the SIM to arrive before giving PlusNet the PAC. Porting usually takes a couple of days after the PAC is submitted, so if the SIM gets badly delayed you may find yourself with no working phone!
and neither has the email from PN to advise of the new number
That sounds strange, I thought the email would be more or less instant ? When did you sign up ?
Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

When I called PN today, they said the email would show the new number.
I have the email confirming the new order but no new number.
I'll wait for the card to arrive.
Thanks

Your second email confirming that PN have posted off the sim card should have had a PDF attachment of your contract, open it and the sim card's mobile number should be there in the third section box titled "Order Information".

Haven't got that email yet. So they have yet to post it out?

Looks like it but check your email spam folder just incase.
