Anonymous

I'm on a pay monthly bill and I ordered a new SIM deal on pay monthly, I tried to do a SIM swap via text but said it couldnt progress the swap so then tried via link online but it said swap was already in progress and now on my o2 it has both mobile numbers, so what do I do? Am I going be billed twice each month or will swap eventually take place? Advice?

@Anonymous If your sim in your old phone was the same size you needed for your new phone, there wasn't any need for you to do a swap. Call customer service this morning as has been advised.


The issue is that there are 2 numbers showing in their MyO2 which looks like it didn't go through as an upgrade.


Ah, okay. I misunderstood.

I did talk to them and they put it through but it's not happened yet still using current SIM with my number and both numbers are still showing in my o2 app, wondering if easier just to cancel new SIM as still within 14 days?

Changes don't happen instantly on your MyO2.
The systems don't update until midnight each day, so I would give it a day or so first before panicking.
You have plenty of time to cancel if needed.
