Keeping old numbers

I have just entered a sim only contract with O2. I am moving from EE. When getting the new O2 sum only deal I filled in a form and gave my PAC code so I could keep my old number. 
I have received my new sim and put it into my phone. I appear to have a completely new number. What do I do?

You will be given a new number prior to the transfer.

Your old SIM should go dead before the number transfers. Up to that point I suggest you leave it in your phone and then put the new one in when that happens

Any doubt

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Thank you very much 😊. I have just been in touch with somebody at o2 and apparently the request to keep my

old number wasn’t reviewed 🤷‍♀️. Not sure how that can be but hey ho. Hopefully things will move along now
