Solved: Re: Sim Swap, can I get new number?

Anonymous · ‎09-12-2013

Hello I just upgraded my Monthly contract and I received my new phone today, my issue is that I wanted to keep the phone number on the phone that I had previously separate as a business contact on pay as you go. If I swap sims then that will invalidate the Sim and transfer it to the new phone, so I was wondering if I can get a new Sim and phone number for my new contract while transferring my previous contract sim to Pay as you go. I can't find anything on the site to answer this question so I'm very confused. Basically, can I get a new number for my new contract and phone while keeping my previous sim also.

You should have taken the upgrade with a new number and taken your old number directly to PAYG. It might be more difficult now as you have just effectively started a new 2 year contract....

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.

You could have asked for it, O2 wouldn't know otherwise.
