Question about transferring a Sim Card

[bizzylizzy]

Hi everyone.

I bought an 02 memorable number Sim card for my husband who has trouble remembering his current mobile phone number. The idea was to buy him a new pay as you go mobile with the 02 network. But then I suddenly thought. We have an existing package with Vodafone. So would I be able to buy him a new phone and transfer the 02 number onto the existing Vodfone package. Thanks everyone, Merry Christmas to you all.

You might be lucky but don't bank on it. I have an o2 account and recently bought a new mobile to replace a lost one. I had a few problems but was told the new mobile was 'not part of their range' and was given 'generic settings' that I don't have a clue how to apply. Look forward to reading other replies.

I bought an O2 pay as you go phone last year as the one I wanted was not available on T Mobile. Even though I bought the phone and signed no agreemant, O2 would not allow me to have the unlock code so i could use my T Mobile sim in it, saying that even though it was pay as you go, the price was still cheaper than buying a phone minus a contract. I hope that goes someway to answering your question, and if so sorry it is not good news. On the other hand, quite strange this one, I got fed up with pay as you go and went back on contract this year, I gave my Mum the old phone and she tried her Orange sim in it and it worked, so it might be worth you going in to a shop and trying this theory out.


Hope you have some success

sorry missed a bit out, they said that because the phone was cheaper they still relied on me buying top ups from them to recover some of the costs for the phone, sounded like a load of BS to me, I tried to get it unlocked elsewhere but beacause the phone was so new it took me about 4 months to find someone who could do it, and they cocked it up in the end
