Tesco Mobile: Is there away to merge contracts

Hi, Two step daughters have Tesco Mobile contracts.

A good deal came up where it was just as cheap to get the eldest a new iPhone and move to EE while still in contract, basically she got what she wanted and it cost no more a month than if she just stayed with Tesco.

I was just going to let the old Tesco sim expire naturally but seems a waste, is there any tricks of the trade to get the data transferred to the other step daughter other than her swapping the sim in and out, pity its not a dual sim phone.

There probably isn't, but cheers for looking

    let the old Tesco sim expire naturally
    If it's a contract nothing will expire 'naturally', even after the minimum term ends. It will continue until either cancelled or the PAC obtained and used to port the number.

    Unless Tesco allow two numbers on the same contract (you could ask), it's unlikely that the two contacts could be 'merged'. Is the old phone, or another, still available to use the old SIM with until the end of its contract's minimum term?

    If it after the minimum term, just give 30 days notice.

    Otherwise, Tesco will probably give a reduction if paid off early or
    someone else (trustworthy) could bring their number to Tesco & use the service in their phone.
