Porting to Virgin with £5 sim

I have received one of those Virgin sims with the £5 top up already on it.

Question I am asking, if I port my current pay as you go number to the Virgin sim, will I get the £5 credit on the sim added to my account.

Or do I have to use the supplied Virgin number to get the credit?

    Get your Pac from your existing supplier then call Virgin on 789 using your newVirgin Sim, they will arrange port, you keep Virgin credit and have your new number set up on Virgin in 5 working days. Credit will go down by 10p as calls to 789 cost that.

    Register your new Virgin Sim by their website and get an extra £2 added to the £5 they've already given you.
