Old Phone new number

Hello, I have bought a new SIM number for 97p from Wilkinsons to use in an old Samsung j5 phone, its an EE card as the j5 was EE (I now use that number in a new phone).

How do I put more money on it, they said in Wilkos I need to register it first.

This phone is to be a standby phone, not a contract, or monthly pay as you go. I want it as a spare phone and send a text now and again to.keep it active.

Ijust want to swipe it at a corner shop, or EE, when I want money on it. I'm not taking out another contract or monthly credit. It's a spare phone. You might have to send a text every few months to keep the credit active, that is what it's for. I've got the number, I just need to put the SIM into the j5 and register it. I dont see why I have to register it but I will if I have to but it is essentially PAYG, yes.

Update. She has decided that as the 97p works with probably a few texts on it there is no hurry for a swipe card.

All the same I'll take it to EE or somewhere and get one. It works though.
