3 PAYG to 3 PAYG 'Keep my Number'

Cant find answer to this and have tried to ring three but the stupid automated system just keeps on going round in loops.

Anyway bought a PAYG phone from their website that came with £10 credit. So got the phone today and the sim.

The thing is i already have a PAYG sim (from 3) that i'd like to keep, so any idea how i transfer the new £10 credit to my existing 3 sim?

Thanks

    I doubt its possible as its already credited to the sim - I would just try to sell it and buy new credit with any monies you recieve.
    Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives.:j

    Don't know about 3, but I have bought a new PAYG phone with Orange sim and another with a Virgin sim in the last few months, which were the same networks as my old sims. I just rang them and each ported the number to the new sim BUT I had already run down the balance on each of my old ones as they DID NOT transfer the balance to the new sim.
