Number Port from o2 Sim to EE Esim

[BloodEagler]

I received my esim q code and activated today, do i leave my O2 sim active in the phone too while the number ports over? I also received a text saying we are porting your number over and this will be done by 6pm (DD/MM). No day or month shown?

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.

Thank you, Do I turn my other sim off or just leave until its ported over? once done can I remove the o2 sim or does it matter?

Your old SIM will lose service in stages as the port-in progresses, and then be terminated completely once your new SIM is fully live and ported.
