You should be able to remove the 3 yourself as it's not tied to your account on the system.

Follow the setup routine to enable your 5 and get a data plan.

Your partner will then need a cellular plan for the 3.

Think its the setting up of the 3 with a new contract thats going to be the headache then as been trying to get on 02 via Livechat or text since yesterday evening!
