Q: Waiting for PAC code to change number, using old number for imessage- which data is my imessage using?

Hi,

 

I have new iphone 6 with a nano sim (on giff gaff), changing from my old 5s with a micro sim (O2).

I've requested my PAC and inputted this, but the number will not change over until Wednesday. On settings I have the option ticked to start all new conversations and receive imessages sent to my old number, so I am still receiving them on both, before it changes over on Wednesday.

 

The question I have is, when I use imessage via my new phone, but still using my old number, is this using my new plans data, or the data linked to my old phone plan (which my number is still registered to until Wednesday)?

 

Thanks.

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.3.5

    Hi Lucy.

         The data should be coming from whatever SIM card is in the iPhone (so the Giff Gaff one I think?)

    Whichever carrier is displayed at the top left of the screen is the data that is being used.

     

    Hope this helps, just reply to this if you have any questions.
