Replacement sim for a new device

Hi

I need a new 3in1 sim card to fit a new device as my current sim is the older large style.  On the ee-order-replacement-sim-page I'm asked to give the phone number I want on the new card, which I give, but get an error message "An account holder for this number already exists". 

 

So how do I get a new sim, if not for my own number (!!!), and can I move my credit on the process?

 

Thanks.

Hi @lgslkhskl

 

Thanks for coming here. 

 

Is this an EE SIM card that you have at the moment? 

 

Speak soon 🙂

Hi, and thanks for your reply.

 

SIM was issued by Orange but I did get the notifications and texts I'd been moved to EE at the time of the changeover.  And number still active.

Hi @lgslkhskl

 

Are you logged into your My EE account when you try and order a replacement SIM? 

 

Leanne.

When texting NUMBER to 150 what network does it say you are on?

Hi James_B

Yes - that's the page I've been trying to order from.  Although, the prior page states to use this process to request a replacement sim for a new device as well as the lost/stolen stuff here.

Thanks, Als.

Hi @lgslkhskl.

 

If you try to order a SIM under the lost/stolen category, it would cut off your current SIM card.

 

If you're unable to order online, are you able to get to your local EE Store or give us a call?
