Moving my number and PAYG balance to my 6GB contratc free a/c

Hi Folks

I got a new phone, as one does, and bought a 6Gb contract free SIM for it. I have used that for a while but would now like to shift my number and remaining credit from my old PAYG phone into the 6Gb contract free account. The old phone, being 8 yrs old, has a giant SIM while the new phone has the micro SIM so I cannot just swop SIMs as I had hoped. Has anybody done this and has it worked out?

Regards

Pete

You just need to call O2 to migrate your number

Thanks for that information. I see that they also say they will carry over one's credit balance which is good.

Regards

The guidance note says to dial 202 to discuss the moving of one's number. Having done that it seems that 202 is a non operative number that just gives back a nasty noise then drops off. Does anybody know what the current equivalent number might be?

Thanks

Pete
