Change of number

[GregM1D]

I bought my son a new phone for Xmas. He was just on a giffgaff thing. I did that PAC number thing to transfer his number over. I’ve set up his new phone today but still shows his old number. Does this happen automatically?

Your new EE SIM will have a temporary number assigned when you first receive it. If a PAC was supplied as part of the order, that will be submitted when you first activate the new SIM onto EE's network.

A port-in date will be set then, usually the following working day. This assumes activation during normal working hours - if during the evening, add an extra working day to these timescales.

Neither 25/12 nor 26/12 are working days.
