Import existing number

[Vik]

I’ve just got my new sim and new number from O2. Put it into my iPhone 6 replacing existing sim from another service provider. Filled out form, put in new sim serial number and PAC and want to know how quick it will transfer. Need my original number to work immediately due to work commitments. How long does it take to transfer?

It won't work immediately, usually 24-48 hours.

Is the phone unlocked first before you are able to put your new sim in?

Once the form has been processed, you will get a text to the phone with the number you are keeping to tell you the date of the port. Usually it's the next working day, so if requested at the time you posted here, it will be done on Friday.

I hope the replies above answered your question, and it'd be great if you could come back to let us know when your number ports. If you have any additional questions, fire away!
