Moving your number to BT Mobile

On the day

First, we'll text you to confirm the move's going ahead. It's going to take a few hours - right up to midnight in some cases - so please be patient.

Until your number moves, you'll have two working SIMs: your old one with the number that'll be moving, and the BT Mobile SIM with a new BT number.

Keep your old SIM in your phone for now. You might get a bit of disruption through the day, but this means the move is happening. It's when your old SIM doesn't work at all that the move is complete. (You'll also know because we'll text you. We'll also text you by 6pm if there's any delay to your move.)

Now pop your BT Mobile SIM into your phone. Your number should have moved across, and everything should work when you switch your phone back on. If it doesn't, you might have to wait for a couple of hours while the networks catch up.

 

What if I've already started using my BT Mobile SIM before my moving day?

That's fine. It'll have your new BT number on it until we move your old one across. We'll text you when it's done.

You've said my number's moved, but I'm still having problems

Try turning your phone off then back on again. That often sorts things.

If it still doesn’t work, call us on 0330 123 4150 from any phone.

If you end up calling us, you'll need to have the BT Mobile number we sent with your BT SIM welcome pack.
