How would I be able to change my number?

I have tired to do it but it’s told me not to download my sim until I have the phone. 
is there a way to get my number before I get the phone?

You can download the eSIM to your old phone if it’s compatible but when you get your new phone you will have to order a replacement eSIM for that one via the app.

Once you activate the 1st eSIM you will be able to request a number port if you wish to transfer an old number.

Thank you for the fast response.

would you say it would be worth doin that or would it just be easier to get the phone and do it all in one go?

thanks

Upto you. It’s only one extra step. Depends on how fast you want to transfer your old number across.

I guess it depends how long the change over takes. If it takes a while I could do it now to avoid hassle, if it’s quick it’s no hassle to wait. 
thanks for all your help
