Buy a new S24 keeping existing (SIM Only) SIM Card?

Hi,

I'm an existing EE Sim Only customer using an S10 Plus, and want to upgrade to a new S24 Ultra Contract, but keep my same phone number.

 

Can I do this keeping the Sim Card I already have and just get the phone sent out? Or would I need to take out the new contract and use a PAC Code or something similar?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

David

You may use the existing SIM & plan in any new device.

To phone EE CS: Dial Freephone +44 800 079 8586 - Option 1 for Mobile Phone & Mobile Broadband or Option 2 for Home Broadband & Home Phone

@Davie0  if you were upgrading you will retain your number. If you’re upgrading with EE it will be a new tariff.  It you want to keep using the same tariff you’ll need to get a device yourself as EE sell phones with a tariff on contract.  You don’t just get a new phone on contract and pay for that, it includes a tariff also. 

You can purchase a device only from HERE and keep using your current tariff. 

To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone.

Thanks Chris.

 

It's just that when I went through the process of getting the new phone yesterday, at the end it asked me if I wanted to keep my number (which I do), and to request the PAC Code.

Maybe I had went through the 'Shop' section rather than the 'Upgrade' section (if this makes any difference) and/or the fact I'm going from SIM Only to a Contract that I was met with this..

 

I guess giving EE a call over the phone to take out the new phone/contract and explain my situation would be my easiest option, you think?

@Davie0  Sounds like you didn’t go through the upgrade option and just went to take out a new contract as that would give you the option to use a PAC code.    If your unsure then a call to customer services would be best.,

To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone.

Sounds like a good idea.

 

I'll have a quick look at the upgrade option online before calling customer service.

 

Thanks very much for your help 👍
