How to register an old PAYG Sim online to secure my number

How can I register my PAYG sim that I have been using for years (topping up by card which I want to still do), but want to register my number in case I ever lost my phone as the number is important to me. I registered for an EE account but can only see a Profile option I can add mobile there but that doesn't seem like registering the number. I've tried the link device and it doesn't work. Is it even possible to do this?
