Can I buy a PAYG phone with new t-mobile sim card and then use my old PAYG sim in it??

I'm using T-mobile.

Yes of course you can

Yes, usually.

If it doesn't work then contact T-Mobile who will then port your number over.

Remember Tmobile can only port other network numbers in. They can't port from a Tmobile PAYG to a contract.

The only way to get around that would be to port it out to a different network PAYG, then port it in to the contract.

Can they not port it to a new SIM card?

Vodafone and all the other networks i've seen or used have been able to.

Nope. Not sure why but tmobile cannot do an 'internal' port.
