Swapping the numbers of two SIM cards (is this possible?)
Yes, that’s what I call a fresh un-used SIM card. The OP wants to port a number onto a long standing used SIM card. If it is possible to port a number to a SIM card that has been used for a long time already, then I stand corrected. If this is possible, then of course all Confuzzled needs to do is request a PAC code from the other network, and then use his account dashboard to port the number from the other network to Smarty.
JJP2 I only said that because I have used my current sim for a very long time now and I can see the option on my account dashboard to port in a number to it regardless.
No, I don’t believe so, as when you use a PAC code, that cancels your account with the network you are leaving, that networks SIM will lose signal and the SIM will effectively be dead…So, you can save / reuse your Smarty SIM card, but not the other networks.
With the other, now dead, SIM card, you could use it as a guitar plectrum, or, what I have done in the past, albeit for just a short time, use it as a “fingernail saver” by using it in the kitchen, to open up ring pulls on cabs, at least until I bought a “Keysie” on Amazon, which are designed specifically for that purpose.
I think perhaps you may have misunderstood my OP, JJP2 . I know I can port the number from my other provider to Smarty (as detailed at https://help.smarty.co.uk/en/articles/7019273-keeping-your-number); what I'm trying to determine is whether it's possible to switch the number currently allocated to the Smarty SIM to the other provider, at the same time. That is to say, SWAP them, as per the topic title.
Oh really ? I stand corrected then, so all Confuzzled needs to do is request a PAC code from the other network and port his number to Smarty, plastic saved ! 😁👍
