When setting up my new phone, how does the new SIM I requested (because of age/size) connect with my current number/account? It is an upgrade, I am already with O2.

You need to do a sim swap from your old sim to activate the new one.

Follow the guide here Guide: Sim Swap: a mini guide 2017 update
