Transferring a number and contract?
My current phone is with Tesco mobile, however i recently purchased an iPhone and now want to use that. The main problem is my sim card is a normal sim size and can't be cut down to fit in the phone. I was wondering whether i could order a tesco's mobile micro sim, and when it arrives to phone them and ask to move my number and contract across?
You do not need Tesco micro sim, you simply need ANY inactive micro sim card which you can get hold of. Then all you do is call Tesco mobile and give them long sim card number printed on it. This will transfer your number to a new micro sim
- Will buying an iphone in contract and unlocking cause contract immediate fee? If i buy a iphone for example on att contract and unlock it, will att charge me what's left on the contract or will i just go by like nothing happened and free of contract? I haven't seen this but it makes quite a bit of sense for companies… Not sure if they do however.
- Why is my iPhone number being displayed wrongly on my number? My number is X, but on "my number" settings, it's being displayed number Y. Why is that? Also, some people told me that when I call or text them, the number Y is appearing to them, not the number X as it should. On the other hand, if I call the number X, my iPhone rings normally, but the same thing doesn't happen when I call number Y.
- Why is mobile sending number different to my number? I recently bought an Iphone and did a sim swap so I could keep my phone number. Everything has been ok. However, when I send an imessage it shows the recipient a different number to mine. I don't think this happens when I send a SMS. Presumably it's the original number for the new sim? Why is this?
- Transferring number from old sim card to new? Okay, say if you get a new phone (iPhone to iPhone 4) you take it to the store and get them to change your number from your old simcard to the new one that fits the new iPhone 4. Does the old phone not work anymore? And does all your contacts, photos etc stay on the old phone or go to the new phone with the new sim card?
