'phones for you' activation process?! I already have a sim card?!

Hi,

Got a new phone and it wants me to phone a number with the new sim inside to make sure I have the phone, but I want to use my existing number and sim with the new phone.

Has anyone else been in this situation? What do I do?

Thanks for any help. :confused:

found this: http://www.phones4u.co.uk/important-info/keep-your-number.asp

but could someone explain that for a pay as you go phone and what exactly it's all about.

I'm confused aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

Ok I didn't mention to them that I wanted to use my existing number and bought this new pay as you go online. My old sim is for the same network.

So I need a PAC? I can't just use the old sim?

I read on their site that if I don't use the new sim and phone their number in 14 days they class the phone as network free and charge me extra?

Sorry, I'm still rather confused, either I'm thick or it's too early and this coffee isn't working. Thanks so far.

ok, well all I have to do apparently is register the new sim, then swap.

anyone know how long it takes for their free top up to appear on the new phone? I need credit to then phone in to register, and then swap to my old sim lol.
