transferring my number from old to new payg

[vvktse]

hi

i am now at overseas.

i am still using my old ee payg sim, which is almost 10 years ago.

i need a new 3-in-1 sim card.

i heard that the new sim card should activate in uk first before bring overseas.

so i bought a new payg sim on ebay, which features that has already been activated in uk by sending a text.

is that possible that i transfer my number from my old sim to this new sim, doing so overseas?

and i have approx gbp40 credit in my old sim, can i also transfer to the new sim?

thanks in advance

You can't transfer your number to a new activated SIM.

You need to order a replacement SIM which will only be shipped to a UK address and then it needs to be activated in UK.

When this happens you will lose connection on your current sim
