I have two EE accounts and I want to swap the numbers on those two accounts.

One of them is ending soon, and I use that number more. I'm aware it's not simple but asking the store today they said about calling 150, but a forum search said about porting. What is the most up to date / recommended way to do this, if it's possible still? And how do I do it 😅 Thank you so much everyone

Hi @SophieSpencer

As you've seen in other threads you'll need to port your number out, then back into your other account.

Thanks

It is not possible to switch nos. between a/c's. Once you move 1 of them you cancel that a/c. All you can do is move the old no. to the new a/c.

EE won't port nos between its contracts. So you need to 1st port your existing no to another network's PAYG using a PAC from EE & then in reverse port it back to your new contract. This will also have the effect of cancelling your old contract.

You could alternatively move your old contract to PAYG with 30 days notice & then ask EE to transfer the no to your new contract.
