Moving EE sim to new phone

I need to replace my existing phone due to some technical issues and I'm unsure how to go about it since I very rarely use a smartphone.

I currently subscribe to EE's £5 a month PAYG package. Can I buy a new sim free phone off the EE website and then put my current EE Sim card in it and, if so, would my phone number carry over as well?

Alternatively if didn't want to keep my current sim card/phone number could I just buy a new PAYG phones with new PAYG subscription from the EE website and stop topping up my existing £5 a month subscription? Would it matter that I had two different pay as you go subscriptions on my EE account?

Thanks in advance.

You may transfer you SIM with its no. to any phone you like, as long as it fits & if it doesn't you can get a replacement SIM with the same no. You may find it better value & selection buying a SIM-Free phone off an online retailer like Amazon.

You can have as many PAYG SIMs on your a/c as you like.

It is the SIM which carries your number. Whichever phone your SIM is in, will have your number as a matter of course.
