How to swap a Pay Monthly SIM to PAYG?

[Anonymous]

Hi guys

My brother kindly gave me his old Samsung S4 phone to upgrade my S2 at Christmas.  He left his Pay Monthly SIM in and reset the phone.  I then transferred everything via SwapMySim over to his SIM not realising that the 2 SIMs are totally different (took me days to figure out why I couldn't send texts but could do everything else).

SO I'm now just wanting to get info on whether I can just buy a new PAYG SIM & then do the same process again to transfer my details, or is there anything else I need to know before doing so. in order to keep my same number etc?
Thanks

LOL - knowing my luck with technology - it won't be long before I'm annoying you all again.  but as nice as it's been to make your (online) acquaintance/s - I hope it won't be too soon either, unless I figure out a fix for my post issues!

Right, I'm off to fight with the infamous Windows 10 - much easier to deal with as at least I'm in familiar territory.  Having severe hand arthritis mobile phones aren't something I enjoy using always but do appreciate having a mini computer out & about with me the odd time.
