Short Code Text to request PAC code

With Ofcom announcing that all providers must now allow users to request a PAC code by sending "PAC" to 65075, it appears that Plusnet will now at last be able to support short code texting!
Yay! I hear you cry. Just one drawback. They will only support short code texts in order to obtain a PAC or a STAC (Service Termination Authorisation Code).
So if you are thinking of leaving Plusnet because of their steadfast refusal to support short code texting - you can now send them a short code text to achieve this.
Oh the irony!

Just verified Plusnet will ONLY be supporting short code texts to comply with legislation. Still no general support for short code texting.

Tuesday has come.
The information short code, as detailed by Ofcom below, INFO to 85075, still doesn't work.

EDIT: Tuesday has not come. Doh. Senior moments are definitely arriving though. Sorry!
