Sim swapping

[Anonymous]

I'm a bit of a techno-dunce I'm afraid....

In September I received a 2nd hand phone bought a new sim from O2 and have used it a couple of times

I continued to use old phone and sim from other company, waiting for the contract to expire. I've been told that I can transfer my old sim, with info and number to new phone with O2, and given the PAC no. Can I still do this, transferring the account from the original O2 sim to the transferred one, and keeping the same terms of agreement with O2?

TIA

Sorry, but I'm going to need to try and understand a little better.
Your September sim (SIM 1) was a new sim from O2 with a new number?
Your other company sim (SIM 2) has now had it's number transferred to O2 on a different sim to SIM 1 or the same sim as SIM 1?
Or do we know have a SIM 3?

hee hee, sorry it's a bit confusing.

New Sim (sim 1) is O2 in iphone, contract taken out as Sim Only in September. This has been used a few times.

Old Sim (sim 2) is with Vodafone in old phone. (contract taken out 2006!). This has been used quite alot.

I've been told I can cancel Vodafone contract and transfer Sim 2 (using PAC supplied) to O2 and insert into new phone.

It's too late to terminate Sim 1 contract. Am I better off just manually transferring data info onto my O2 sim and use new phone number or 

asking O2 to transfer Sim 1 contract to Sim 2.

ooo dear, I don't think I've made that any better to understand, have I..

lol, I think I've got it now
All you need to do is give O2 your PAC from Voda and they will transfer the number to your current O2 sim.
If you have any data you want to keep on sim 2 you will have to manually transfer that to sim 1 but your actual phone number will be transferred by the PAC process, it will just be any contacts you have saved that you will actually need to move manually.
