Switching to pay monthly and keeping number

I just switched from PAYG to a monthly contract and want to keep my number.

When I received a confirmation email it stated to fill in a 'keep your number form', which I did immediately. The next day I received an email response that my request couldn't be actioned because the new number was never active. The instructions with the keep number form implied the old sim should stay in the phone until the switch is ready. I don't know how I can activate the new number and keep the old sim in the phone.

I have now received my new SIM and my old number stopped working so I put the new sim in the phone and it came up with unrecognised number.

I am now unsure whether to proceed to activate the new SIM or not. 

The previous email response told me to contact a 'front line advisor' to 'fill in the correct form' although there were no instructions on how to contact anyone. I have tried multiple times but cannot get through the menus to speak to an advisor. I keep getting redirected to instructions for swapping SIM, but I'm not sure if I'm meant to be doing this. I have filled in the keep number form again but haven't had a reply yet.

Anybody know what the correct procedure is or how I can speak to an adivsor?
