Changing to smart phone

JimSh — Sun, 24 Jan 2021 12:44:48 GMT

Hi,

I am contemplating changing fromy old Nokia (not smart) payg.

to a payg smartphone.

Will I be able to transfer my number. ( the Sim cards would not be interchangeable)?

Will I be able to top up my credit using a credit or debit card ( for some reason I was unable to do this on the Nokia)?

Hi.

1. Yes, you can port your number on PAYG - Regarding the SIM question - if you have a combi-SIM at the moment, the smaller SIM size is inside the SIM already so you may not need a new one (it snaps off to make it smaller)

2. Yes, you can top up using a debit card

Enjoy whatever phone you're thinking of getting, Just because I'm curious, what are you looking at getting?

To save the SIM going into hibernation due to lack of use, just remember within every 179 days (~ 6 months) to make a chargeable action like making a chargeable call or text, topping up or buying a Pack or Add-on, not just using your mins, texts or data from any Pack or Add-on you might have.
