Apr 26, 2024 · Changing your SIM card doesn’t mean that you have to change your phone number. The number is assigned to you as part of the activation process so, as long as you’ve notified your previous provider, you should be able to transfer across the number with ease.

Before we get down to the process of transferring your old number to a new SIM Only plan, it’s worth noting that there are two points at which you can potentially set up this transfer. The most common timing is after you’ve ordered and activated a new SIM card, and that’s the timing we’ll look at below, as this is an option with all networks. Howev...
In most cases you need your new SIM Only contract to be active before you port your number, which means that the first step is typically to order a new SIM card and then activate it when it arrives. This card will come with a phone number of its own – but don’t worry, it’s only temporary.

In most cases you have to fill in a form, but if in doubt give your new network a call. They’ll want your PAC code, your new temporary number, and the old numbe...
If you’re buying a SIM Only planon the network you’re currently using then the process is usually the same, except that you won’t need your PAC code, so simply tell your network that you want to port your old number to your new SIM Only plan.
If you’re porting your number you don’t have to tell your old network that you’re leaving, as the process of porting your number will initiate the cancellation process with your old network – but do make sure you’re not tied into a contract. In fact, you can’t transfer a number that’s been disconnected, so it’s very important to make sure you trans...
