Welcome to the Community, @Marky4477
From what you've described here, it sounds like the new phone has been sold to you as an additional line rather than an upgrade to the number you already have.
If you were still in contract this could have been done as an alternative to paying an early upgrade fee, but either way you should be given all the different options in a transparent manner.
As a first port of call, we would always recommend returning to the store where you took this out and highlight it with them directly.
From there, if you were unable to agree on a resolution you can also give us a call, where we can get you transferred to our dedicated retail support team to investigate this further.
