Hello @Nannymumma ,
Welcome to the community,
Yes, correct, just put your old SIM card in your new phone, as it is the SIM card that has your phone number. If you have backed stuff up to ICloud, you can then transfer everything over or hold the two phones close and everything will be transferred, if your old phone is an IPhone. You can find all the instructions by going onto Apple, but can also download the info about using the phone etc by clicking on IBooks and downloading it from there if you need more help. Hope this is useful for you.
