Team, I want to use a 5G Router with my EE sim. I've got an unlimited plan on a 24 month contract on my current SIM with my phone number. I don't need two unlimited contracts.
Ideally I want to put my current SIM in my router, buy another plan and port my number to it. Am I going to be able to do this?
Cheers

@SoSpecial no that’s not possible, Your current tariff is for that number so if you move that number to a new SIM card the tariff remains with the number.
You cannot split your number away from your tariff.

My contract runs out in 3 days time... so I'll have a think whether I stay with EE or not. Thanks for replying... really helps me out!

In this case you could upgrade your SIM to a cheaper SIM Only plan with less data and then add an Unlimited Data SIM, far less complex than what you were proposing.
A 30-day rolling Unlimited SIM with Speeds up to 100 Mbps added on to your account is £23 (£12 discount from £35), or it could be cheaper if you took a longer contract term.

Your minimum term may run out in 3days time, your contract will continue as normal unless you explicitly make a change,
