Old phone number to new payg

[squonk63]

Hello all - I wonder if anyone can assist.

I have just upgraded my old O2 monthly phone contract to become an ipad.

This means allow the sim (and phone number) as now associated with the ipad, i have lost the phone element of it.

I hadnt thought it through and there are some emergency services linked to my elderly aunt and many other places that know my number, so i was wondering if i could get the number moved to an O2 payg sim?

Does anyone have any experience of this?

Thank you all.

*** apparently it is just bad luck. I should have thought about it before upgrading. My bad. Nevermind.

Hi @squonk63 Have you contacted CS about this? http://www.o2.co.uk/contactus  You could've kept your number using this route http://www.o2.co.uk/help/phones-sims-and-devices/how-to-keep-your-mobile-number

but if you have already used the new number the only way would be to contact Customer Services

Install tugo on your ipad to use it as a phone.
