I've recently joined O2 on a SIM only plan for my wife and I'll be looking to port over her number from EE after her birthday. I'm getting her an Apple watch to go with it but when I try to order it, i have to join it to the temporary number assigned to the new SIM, pending her old number being ported over. If I order the watch with the temporary number, will it still work once her old number has been ported across? If not, what would I have to do to move it over to her new (old) number?

Thanks in advance.

Theoretically, it should just seamlessly morph into using the ported in number, however, with O2, anything can happen.

Personally, I'd port the number in first.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
