Moving from PAYG To PAYM

Hi everyone,
Just need some advice on how to proceed, as i am abroad and my friend is abroad too (continue reading), we cannot call ee as the rates are exorbitant, so i would love for this to be able to be sorted online.
i have a payg sim with a payg account, friend is a pay monthly customer for 5 years, i will be travelling in a few weeks to the uk for 3 weeks, so i thought to get a 30 day rolling contract as i always do, however this time i thought if i could get it in advance as its only 3 weeks, friend is agreeing on letting me use his account to activate my sim to the pay monthly subscription. I have done this before however its always been after i get there.
I cannot switch my account to paym due to reasons.
Just asking as when ordering a sim on his account it forces him to use one of his own numbers, wouldn't let me input mine (as a test), wouldn't let me add or remove any numbers too for some reason, i remember it used to be there.
TL;DR payg sim with payg account, how to switch that sim to pay monthly under another existing pay monthly account, without calling ee (although can receive texts in case of verification).

No, same goes for PAYG; only the a/c holder.
