keep the number

Marcela1982 — Tue, 28 Jun 2022 19:50:50 GMT

I have a prepaid EE phone number, I bought a plan together with an EE cell phone but a new SIM came and I would like to keep the number I already have, is it possible?

If you switch from PAYG to pay-monthly using switch to pay-monthly you will retain your number as a matter of course.

If you contact EE C/S on 150 they should be able to transfer your existing PAYG number across and replace your "new" number.

Did you buy a contract or a PAYG plan? Can you not just put your old SIM in the new phone?

I bought a number from those sold on the market, I have had this number for 9 months, I entered the app and purchased a device along with a new monthly plan, today I received the device and a sim card with a new number but I wanted to continue with my number on this new plan

If you want to keep your new PAYM plan but have your PAYG number transferred, then C/S on 150 should be your next port of call.

What does texting AL to 150 from the new SIM fully report verbatim (it is free)?

Do you have an email address where I can resolve this?

Just text AL to 150 from the new SIM & tell us what it replies.

EE provide no email contact but we can help you with your query.
