Swapping SIMs

Anonymous
Not applicable

I currently have a nano SIM in my Phone 5. I have bought a new SIM card with a new number on it that's easier to remember and slightly personalised but is only a micro SIM. Can I swap the numbers on both cards and keep my current number active, or does swapping numbers automatically cancel the one being replaced? I'd like to keep both numbers active if possible, so perhaps I will have to get another nano SIM and transfer my new number on to that? (Only downside is that I will lose my O2 Rewards etc.)

1 are you pay monthly or payg

2 The new number is it payg or on a pay monthly sim

3 Swapping the numbers between sims cannot be done (as far as i know)

4 If it is on a payg sim and you are monthly  do not use swapmysim service but you need to use the keep my number form as explained here http://service.o2.co.uk/IQ/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=Companion,question=ref(User):str(Mobile),C...

Hi,

 

Pick up blank Sims from an o2 shop and use the swapmysim link to move your numbers to them.

I am on PAYG and the new number is on PAYG.

Are blank SIMs free from the O2 store?
