No it wont work for both. Your phone sim needs to stay in your phone. You need a different sim and number for your tablet. Pop instore or contact O2 to send one out Guide: Coronavirus Community Help and Support

Sounds like you have upgraded to a tablet which switches you to a data only tariff. You phone sim is no longer connected so to continue to use your phone, you need to purchase a new sim only contract.

Unfortuntely, this will come with a new number for your phone.
