Swapping SIMs

[Anonymous]

I currently have a nano SIM in my Phone 5. I have bought a new SIM card with a new number on it that's easier to remember and slightly personalised but is only a micro SIM. Can I swap the numbers on both cards and keep my current number active, or does swapping numbers automatically cancel the one being replaced? I'd like to keep both numbers active if possible, so perhaps I will have to get another nano SIM and transfer my new number on to that? (Only downside is that I will lose my O2 Rewards etc.)

So do I. From memory the last time I went to the O2 store they were telling me a new sim was £10. I told them I could get one sent out to me by post for free if I went online or phoned O2 and was basically told to go do that then and the guy at the desk got a bit snotty. Hopefully it's someone else who serves me this time (if indeed he even still works there).

It does not cost you £10 for the sim card itself but they do insist at store level that you top up by that amount before leaving.

i order mine online.

The blank sims have always been free to pick up. Just ensure you ask for the correct size and account type {Contract or PAYG}

but you will lose your rewards on the old number unless you keep it active in another phone
