Hello i have finally left my old network. i have signed up to 02 and requested to keep my old number. downloaded the o2 app on my phone whilst still on three. on the app when i logged in etc it shows a new number not my old one that i want to keep.

i havent received the new sim card yet through the post. am i being silly or something?

You will need to contact O2 or fill out the online form with your PAC once you receive your new O2 sim

Hi and thanks.

I filled in the online form submitted a pac code when it came to that part of the application. Said all was good. Just surprised to see a new O2 number when I logged into the app

As I said, you'll need to do it again when you receive the sim. They rarely action it the first time.
