Your contacts will still be on the sim card after the swap so won't be lost - Usually it is easier to just bluetooth your contacts to a new phone or sync with Google, for example.

You start the process with your old sim card.

When you fill in your mobile number you'll receive a code to your original sim. Follow the step by step institutions from that point.

Be aware once the process starts your original sim will be turned off.
