Contract

[Bigbad]

I currently have two SIM cards on my contract, one is coming to the end of its 2 year deal, the second is one I got through a Virgin Media Volt package a few months ago.

I was told at the time I would be able to close the older contract and transfer the older SIM cards' number to the new SIM card when the contract was up.

I tried yesterday on chat and got told it is not possible because I own both numbers, surely this cannot be correct? I do not want to lose my number as I have had it for a longtime.

Can anyone help?

You should be able to MIGRATE the old number across

Thank you Enlli, don't really use social media, so will have to create an account. Bit annoying that I have to go down that route. Hopefully I will get it sorted, thank you again!

As @Enlli said, the social media team are UK based. They have a far better knowledge base and success rate.

Like you I didn't follow social media for a long time (apart from Facebook)

However, I now have a Twitter (X) and Instagram account. It's much better dealing with O2 staff who know what they are doing. 😉
