Good morning @Njay38.
Welcome to the community.
Are you looking to port your number to EE from your current provider?
I would check with your provider as your SIM does not usually stop working until the number port begins, once you receive your EE SIM you can use this straight away as it will come with a temporary number till your number port completes.

Hi @Njay38.
I believe your old SIM will work until the number port begins, this all depends on the time you submit order/form.
Please check with your provider on their policy.
