I have an existing O2 number that has been PAYG for a while, I have just ordered a SIM on. Monthly deal. The new SIM has arrived but us giving me a new phone number which I don’t want - I’ve responded to the text messages to say SWAP and activate the new SIM will this keep my current O2 phone number or do I need to do anything else? Thanks

@JMorg 

You need to contact customer service.

Numbers here Guide: Coronavirus Community Help and Support 

The best number to call on appears to be 0800 587 4005

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.

@JMorg 

As you have already started a sim swap which may fail due to the different billing platform, you will now have to call to stop the swap and get customer service to migrate the number for you.
