Those who need a mobile connection and shift their number are unlikely to be refunded, Ovivo’s terms and conditions suggest:

“6.3 In the event that We terminate the Service and You have paid for credit remaining on your Account We shall refund the amount to You, provided We have received the SIM Card back. Refunds will be credited to the credit or debit card used when topping-up.”

“6.6 Should You transfer your number away from OVIVO, this constitutes a termination of this Agreement and any outstanding credit on your account, whether paid for or promotional, is forfeit and non-refundable.”

For those with multiple Ovivo SIMS, multiple requests to get PAC code returns the same code and this is usable for porting different numbers. The reason is that an operator can issue one PAC code for any numbers as appropriate. When you port you have to supply the number to port from which is the unique information. PAC code need not be unique to one number to be ported.

IT TAKES UP TO TEN DAYS FOR PAYPAL CLAIM.

Here's a petition we can all sign to raise awareness on the issue, and possibly kickstart an thorough investigation into the shortcomings of Ovivo.

According to Which?, the 120 day limit for chargeback starts from the point you discover a problem. There is a second, ultimate deadline of 540 days from the transaction date. This means that most people who bought an Ovivo SIM in the last year and a bit are entitled to make a claim for a chargeback on their cards, and have (as of today) 113 days in which to do so. Whether a claim will be successful or not is a different matter, of course.
