I'm back!

Anonymous — Sun, 04 Jan 2015 14:11:10 GMT

I've signed up for a 12 month SIM only contract with O2. I'm happy with 3 but there's no 4G around here (and no sign of getting it) and I decided it was about time I moved into the 21st century. In the end it came down to a choice between Vodafone and O2 but, after reading about Vodafone's number porting issues, I decided I couldn't risk being without a phone for a month and went for O2. The coverage problems I had before won't be an issue now so that was another deciding factor.

A couple of questions - I've obviously already got a My O2 account so do I just need to add the new account to it? Should I do it with the temporary number or wait until my own number has ported over on either Tuesday or Wednesday?

Oh and I won't be sitting on the sofa when I change the SIM cards over! (I'm sure a few regulars will know what I mean!)

Welcome back too. 😄

If this was me I'd be more inclined to wait until the porting process was complete. But that's just my choice.

Ah yes the sofa experience. I bet it's still wedged in there somewhere. ☺️

That's what I was thinking - I don't want to confuse things (the system or myself!).

One day I expect to move the sofa and see a SIM card sitting on the floor!

Simply wait until the port has been completed fully and you should be good to go.

Oh it was @Anonymous !

My husband did find it amusing although he decided it was better if he cut the bottom of the sofa (that we'd only had for 6 months!) as he's not heavy handed like me!

You can bring your temp number into your My O2 now if you wish, it will make no difference, your number will simply change over in your My O2 automatically when you port in from Three.

It was after 6pm and everywhere was closed. I phoned customer services who said that the shop should be able to help me so, much to the amusement of everyone in earshot, I got my new SIM card the next day. A lesson learned!

@Cleoriff, I'm quite accident prone in case you haven't already guessed!

Thanks M15.

Are you sure your sofa didn't look like this after searching for it ? 😉
