Can I swap Sim cards from phone to phone?

I have bought a new phone with Tesco Mobile. They say I can keep my old number if i get a code from Orange, my current provider. Will this cost?


And can I use my current Sim card in my new phone?

Can I swap Sim cards from phone to phone?
Hi if you go to your local orange %26amp; ask them for a pac code then give the pac no. to tesco mobile your old no. will automatically be transferred over to your new phone . %26amp; no it wont cost anything to do! i was on orange %26amp; i had my no. transferred to o2 it took about 7 days to do hope this helps
Reply:no its free and its called a PAC code, just call orabge up and ask for it
Reply:If its on same network, or unlocked.. about a tenner to unlock..
Reply:i do but then again i have two american phones, but my uncle does it and he lives in manchester
Reply:Phones are usually locked to a network. You can swap sim cards from phone to phone IF you get an unlock code. You can get this done at many shops usually costing around £5.
Reply:Providing you are out of contract or had the number over 12 months if you are on pre pay you can request a PAC code (Port Authorisation Code) from Orange. You then give this to Tesco Mobile and they will port the number from Orange. As I said if it's over 12 months old and out of contract there will be charge.





You will be able to use your new sim in your current phone but it may be network locked at the moment, again Orange can provide you with the unlock code, and again if it's over 12 months old or out of contract this should also be free.





If you get stuck give me a shout.
Reply:yeh you can,if the other phones are the same network but normally if it is not then just take the phone to any shop (or the market because its alot cheaper to get unlocked to any network it costs a tenner)if you take it to a proper phone shop they will charge you loads and you sim will be sorted

  1. you can swap sims of course but it wont be necessary if you are making cheap international calls from mobile to mobile phones though. plus you are highly likely to loose your sim card this way.
