O2 to O2 upgrade SIM only

Just upgraded O2 iPhone XR monthly contract at 23.5 months to a SIM only offer via uswitch/TCB, keeping handset.

 

Logged in as upgrading current contract, it recognised it all, all looks good. Eg £24 quid down to £8 new contract. Confirmation received, but says despatching new SIM.

 

Will this switch over automatically on the account and can I continue to use existing physical SIM? I.e. no PAC involved.

 

Unfortunately, I said yes to the 5G SIM it's despatching. It's an XR not an iPhone 12 or 13.

Is this academic as I won't need to switch to new physical SIM?

Or will I need to call O2 and get them to allocate existing SIM card to new deal?

Or will I need them to re-send a new non 5G SIM out to use?

Probably a non issue but thanks.

Just leave your current SIM in the phone as everything will be updated on that SIM. 

Keep the new 5g SIM as a spare.
