Hi,
I start a new contract with EE and I requested to keep my old phone number from O2. On my contract I have an eSim with an EE phone number.
I provided the PAC number.
When the old number will be transferred to my EE account?
At this time I have two active phone numbers, O2 on physical sim and EE on eSim. My phone it is an iPhone 14.

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.

It is a week since I have started the new contract

In which case either your new SIM hasn't been used on EE's network thus triggering the PAC submission, or the PAC hasn't been received in order to submit.
EE-CS on 150 have access to your individual account to check, and rectify accordingly. If the PAC is submitted before close-of-business today, your port-in should be tomorrow.

EE sim is used as data sim in EE network and I have done only one phone call from it.

Hi @AdrianUK.
Thanks for coming to the community.
If your number hasn’t transferred after a week, I’d recommend getting in touch with our customer support team so they can check whether the PAC was received and submitted correctly, and help get this sorted.
