Phone numbers need to be stored on the phone, not sim card and you need to be signed into the same Google account on both phones.

The phone numbers will then be available on both devices.

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.

Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)

@Bess I'm not sure how you did your switch, but here is a guide from Samsung if you're having problems: How do I transfer my data from my old Android phone to my new one? | Samsung UK

Your phone numbers should also be in your Google account.
