Hi all,
Appreciate this isn't Plusnet's responsibility but since they/this community must have a lot of experience with these matters I hope it's alright to ask for some guidance.
Am moving to Plusnet from another provider. I have my new SIM, and my PAC so I can keep the same number. I'll be using the same handset.
Will using the new SIM with the ported number (after the 1-2 days for porting) cause issues with authenticator apps such as Steam Mobile Guard and Google Authenticator? Will they be unhappy that it's a different SIM from a different provider even once it has the same number? Should I disable 2 Factor Authentication on my accounts and just reenable after the Port process is finished, or is that not necessary?
Obviously I've tried to source info on that directly from Steam etc already but without much luck, so if anyone here has the answer that'd be great.
Cheers,
