Thanks, I did take a look at that link before. It just wasn't clear to me if she could port her number whilst being linked to my account. 

So; 

1. Create nickname SIM   2. Order SIM.  3. Get PAC from current provider   4. Port number over.  5. Create group plan to bring other two over. 

Current provider is Giffgaff and they allow 1 account, 1 SIM as long as the payment comes from my account.

    Thanks for the link. I did see that. What isn't clear to me is do I need my 14 year old to my account from Giffgaff using the nickname route and then add my other family members who are already with Smarty or vice versa. Can I even do both? 

    Thanks

      The new nickname sim is not the same, but I cannot see why it would affect things.
