Hi, currently with EE (pay monthly) and own phone outright. Wanting to use a 2nd sim for hobby business with the same phone. It would 99% used for incoming messages and calls so I don't want to buy a bundle with it, just a basic old school PAYG. Quite happy to put a small balance on it to start with but do not want (or need) to top up very often at all. I see that I can order a free SIM but asks me to choose a bundle too. Happy to put initial £10 on but do not wish for this to be continued unless I need it. Can I also port an existing number from another network to this SIM? Any help greatly appreciated.

@ChrisBadger : You may port your no. in to an EE PAYG SIM.
All EE PAYG SIMs come primed with a recurring Pack of allowances ready to bought out of your PAYG credit as soon as it is sufficient.
Text STOP PACK to 150 before you 1st top-up & you can use the SIM for calls & texts but not data as normal PAYG at standard per-unit rates paid for out of your standing PAYG credit balance.
To save the SIM going into hibernation due to lack of use, just remember within every 179 days (~ 6 months) to make a chargeable action like making a chargeable call or text, topping up or buying a Pack or Add-on, not just using your mins, texts or data from any Pack or Add-on you might have.
