Hi does doing this swap when you change your tariff mean all data /pics /messages etc from your old sim will be transferred to your new card please? Thank You Tina x

No, only phone number and tariff or credit if PAYG.

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.

There should be nothing stored on the sim or you lose everything
