Hello again. Thank you everyone who helped me out.

I just found the sim that i lost and wanted to swap it to an old 1 piece sim card.

So i have requested the sim swap but not sure if it will work?

Does anyone over here know if it will or won't and how long it usually takes?

I look forward to your response. Many thanks

Have you done it via my O2? I don't think it is done at weekends, I think it works similarly to a number port. So if you've requested it today it maybe completed by Tuesday afternoon.

You could call customer services on 4445 tomorow and ask them.

@b4u2 

Sim swaps do work at weekends but ports don't.

Was the one piece sim a new one or an old one you had lying around, as it may not work at all if the sim has expired past it's activation date?

May not work then @b4u2 

Usually a sim swap is fairly instant.
