    You can normally pickup a sim in any store, and phone them to switch you number to the new sim, assuming the number still active and you can pass what ever security questions they have.

    Last time we did it, there was no change, but it a year or more ago.

    Payg may be different to bill pay as they can't verify it's your number unless you have it registered / have receipts for top ups.

    Probably can be done, but not instantly

    If its registered in your name, bring an I.d and they'll swap it to a new sim there and then, if not it can be tough luck because they have to be able to prove it's yours. Cc may be able to help but not necessarily if the no. Hasn't been registered.

    Actually, they offered this to me the last time, but it's the wife's phone and she was not with me, so they just gave me the new sim, and we phoned them later when at home.
