Unsure of best Sim setup

Nige1313 — Mon, 08 Jun 2020 13:48:22 GMT

Guys, I am currently with GiffGaff - who do not support eSim.

I had an X with private number and an old 6Plus for work. Both have separate GG sims.

I have now purchased an iPhone 11. Also have a iWatch series 5

I am looking to keep both numbers. Can I get all 3 on the same sim only package

Physical sim - Private Number

eSim - Work

eSim - Work watch

Thanks - Nigel

No, you'll require 3 diff SIM-Only contracts.

Did you buy the iPhone 11 directly from EE?

The phone is straight from Apple - phone only purchase

@Nige1313 , if you got your Apple Watch directly from Apple, then you will need to pay £7.- a month for the cellular to work on the watch, which will have its own number, but is then paired with the IPhone,. You may want to talk to customer service, you will need to order an E-Sim and it will have its own number and then you can have a physical sim with its own number, but in order to get the best deal for you, I would say speaking to customer service is the best way forward, but you may have a wait on the line, as they are dealing with the vulnerable first and will get to you as soon as they can, but they are all individual, but also linked when it comes to calls.

In order to keep your numbers, you will need to get a PAC code from GiffGaff and then give it to EE for your number to be transferred, but I take it you knew this already.

Top Job spoke with a lovely lady and now have

1 x sim 60GB. 18 Month @ £18 PCM

1 x sim 250MB 12 Month @ £13 PCM

Obviously transferable between sims

And will take out the £7 per month on the watch.

Will let you know how easy it all is to transfer from GG and get all working.
