How to use your Oomph SIM with an existing Virgin Mobile number

We know some of you have recently taken out an Oomph deal and still need help to set up the SIM. Whilst we can't resolve all SIM issues via the community, this thread is intended to give some background to the issues we can solve. We can only discuss these matters with the account holder, and we will ask you for details of the account to clear security checks.

Using an existing Virgin Mobile number with your new Oomph SIM:

  • If you're out of contract or on a 30-day rolling contract with the existing SIM - we can process the change immediately so your Oomph package uses the existing number you want to keep.
  • If you're still in contract on a classic, freestyle of 12-month SIM only contract, you'll need to pay the outstanding amount to be able to upgrade. We can't help in this scenario, you'll need to speak with us on 789 or 0345 600 0789 to discuss paying the outstanding amount

Providing you meet the criteria above, we need to complete a credit check to make this change. This is an internal check which won't affect your credit file. We won't need to ask for any further details over as this is based on the info you gave when you signed up for the Oomph package.

If we're unable to process the package change immediately then it will take effect from your next refresh date.

If you have an existing number and a new number with your Oomph SIM, and would like to cancel the existing number, this can be done by speaking with us on 789 or 0345 600 0789.

If you would like us to transfer your existing Virgin Mobile number to your Oomph SIM, please post below and a member of the team will be in touch to help with that.

Finally managed to sort this problem..at the 10th(?) time of asking.

Rang 789 and finally got through to somebody who could help out. Looks like perseverance is the way forward!

I received an oomph SIM last week with a new number, but want it to use the existing number I have from virgin 30-day rolling contract on existing SIM, and the redundant account not renewed.

Hi, I’m currently with three and will be moving my number over to my oomph sim in a few mo this when my contract is up.  Is it possible to use the oopmh sim now still, then transfer my number over? Or is it the case that when my oomph sim is set up it cannot be changed, as it will have a different number ? 

hope that made sense 

 

Thanks
