Hi,
I've just received my new Sim card from Ovivo.
I've got my PAC code from Vodafone and need to fill out the online form to port the number.
Do I put the new Sim in straight away?
It also says you have to remove the battery of my iphone,is this straight forward?
Never done this before so a little nervous!!!
Any help will be most appreciated :)

    You can't remove an iPhone battery, it's not user serviceable.
    You can use the SIM on it's existing number until yours is ported over.
    This assumes that the phone has already been unlocked by Voda?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    It doesn't have to be unlocked to work with Ovivo sim, but surely it's worth unlocking ASAP.

    Re the battery, I don't know why they ask removing it. It's the same as just rebooting a phone or switching off an on.

    I use an Ovivo sim with a locked Vodafone phone and it works ok.
