Is there any reason, or any circumstance where/why I can't just swap the sim out of my existing phone, put it in the new one and carry on regardless?
As I said, both are orange PAYG.
Thanks”
No reason at all why you can't, putting it simply.
Saying that though, if your current handset is, say, a 3410, and the new handset is a colour/camera phone with mms/gprs and the like you'll need to ring orange to get the new services enabled as the old sim will only be set up to work with the 3410... if that makes any sense. It's easy enough to do though, they'll just send you some sim updates.
Or, if you like you can get them to swap your number on to the new sim. Again, they'll just send some sim updates but everything will be set up at once, however you'll lose everything stored on your old sim (e.g. logos) but any credit/active extras and so on will swap sims along with your number.
