Transferring phone number to new sim

SI85 — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 15:45:15 GMT

I’m currently waiting for my sim to arrive and selected the option to transfer my Sky mobile number, has this process started already or will it wait until the SIM card has arrived as I require my phone and cannot lose access due to the number transferring before I have my SIM card

@SI85 It will not start until the EE sim is activated and then it’ll take up to 24 hours to migrate your number. The EE sim will have a temporary number on it as you can’t have a working sim without a number.

Your no. will be ported within 1 working day of when you activate your EE SIM on the EE network.
