Unsure of best Sim setup

Guys, I am currently with GiffGaff - who do not support eSim.

 

I had an X with private number and an old 6Plus for work.  Both have separate GG sims.

 

I have now purchased an iPhone 11.  Also have a iWatch series 5

 

I am looking to keep both numbers. Can I get all 3 on the same sim only package

 

Physical sim - Private Number

eSim - Work

eSim - Work watch

 

Thanks - Nigel

@Nige1313 , if you got your Apple Watch directly from Apple, then you will need to pay £7.- a month for the cellular to work on the watch, which will have its own number, but is then paired with the IPhone,. You may want to talk to customer service, you will need to order an E-Sim and it will have its own number and then you can have a physical sim with its own number, but in order to get the best deal for you, I would say speaking to customer service is the best way forward, but you may have a wait on the line, as they are dealing with the vulnerable first and will get to you as soon as they can, but they are all individual, but also linked when it comes to calls.

 

In order to keep your numbers, you will need to get a PAC code from GiffGaff and then give it to EE for your number to be transferred, but I take it you knew this already.

To contact EE customer service dial 150 from your mobile phone or ring customer service for free using Skype or another phone: +44 800 079 8586 or +44 800 956 6000.

No, you'll require 3 diff SIM-Only contracts.

 

Did you buy the iPhone 11 directly from EE?

To phone EE CS: Dial Freephone +44 800 079 8586 - Option 1 for Mobile Phone & Mobile Broadband or Option 2 for Home Broadband & Home Phone

ISPs: 1999: Freeserve 48K Dial-Up > 2005: Wanadoo 1 Meg BB > 2007: Orange 2 Meg BB > 2008: Orange 8 Meg LLU > 2010: Orange 16 Meg LLU > 2011: Orange 20 Meg WBC > 2014: EE 20 Meg WBC > 2020: EE 40 Meg FTTC > 2022:EE 80 Meg FTTC SoGEA > 2025 EE 150 Meg FTTP

The phone is straight from Apple - phone only purchase

Top Job spoke with a lovely lady and now have 

 

1 x sim 60GB. 18 Month @ £18 PCM

1 x sim 250MB 12 Month @ £13 PCM

 

Obviously transferable between sims

 

And will take out the £7 per month on the watch.

 

Will let you know how easy it all is to transfer from GG and get all working.

@Nige1313 , so glad I was able to help and that you have got it sorted, will be pleased to hear that you have been able to transfer your numbers over, look forward to hearing that step goes ok. Thank you for letting me know.
