Installing your new SIM

 


Swap your SIM

Once everything’s ready, and you’ve read your instructions, it’s time to swap your SIM.

 

   

 


Let’s do this thing!


Your new SIM card is attached to your letter. As your letter is
written specifically for you and your handset, it’s important that you
read it through before you put your new SIM in your phone.


Remember, if you’ve got multiple SIMs to swap in your
household, make sure you put the correct SIM in the correct
phone. Your letter will tell you which SIM is linked to which phone.


There are two ways to request a switch date if you’re asked to
book one…
 

  • By texting ‘SWITCH’ to 789255 from your old SIM

  • By accessing your account


Note: It’s important you carry on using your old SIM until the date
we give you to switch.
