O2 will transfer the credit for you but will reclaim the original number so it can't be used.  Call them,  not  live chat.

If your old sim is the same size as the new one, just put the old sim in the new phone.

Yes when I transferred to contract from PAYG it needed a call to CS to transfer my balance to my new contract account. http://www.o2.co.uk/contactus

Maybe it's just me, but I read the OP's post as them just wanting to use their Pay & Go sim in a new phone and were sent a new sim which wouldn't be needed if the sims are the same size? They aren't looking to change account type.

Just do a sim swap http://swapmysim.o2.co.uk/
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
