New 02 account, unable to sim swap previous o2 number

Finbarr — Sat, 09 Aug 2025 18:02:58 GMT

I got a great deal via affordable mobiles for a new phone on an o2 contract. I’d like to keep my current out of contract o2 number. However o2 are not allowing a sim swap! Something to do with using a third party and opening a new contract. What are my options? Thanks.

@Finbarr

This sounds like you've been told complete rubbish, however........

PAC out to another network PAYG then port back in.
