Lemonade Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I work for a mobile provider. Did the new SIM card they gave you have a phone number attched to it or is it a "blank" SIM card? If it's blank (like it should be) then they just need to do a sim swap, you just need to give them the number off the back of the new sim card and they move your number off the old card and on to the new card. It only takes about 5 minutes. I do about a billion of them every day. If they've given you a SIM with a phone number attached to it then they are doing a MSISDN swap, which takes about 24 hours and wouldn't really make sense.

JaseyBoi Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 My old phone was with 3 my new contract is also with 3....Its simply an upgrade so to speak....I was informed that the new micro sim and new contract is the exact same as old one....There should be no difference (im told) other than i get a fancy new gadget.......As i say when i phone 3 they tell me my new phone and contract are active and the old one isnt....Yet i phone me from home phone and old phone rings...

Phone them and ask them to do a sim swap, give them the long number off the back of your new sim card and Bob's your uncle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
