Hi. I have ordered a sim only.  I have created an account and downloaded the app.  The sim comes with its own number but I want to keep my old number.  I have pac code for that.  When I try to set up my account it says it sent verification to the new number (which I dont have sim for yet.   Do I wait for sim to arrive.  Put it in my phone.  Go thru process and once account is set up do i enter my pac code for old number into that?  I dont want to lose old number.
