Moving iCloud to new phone

I purchased additional storage on iCloud on my previous cell phone. I now have a new phone and new number. How do I get my expanded storage switched over to my new cell number?

iPhone SE, iOS 13

No easy or good way that I know of.

One painful option for at least some things would be to manually download data to a computer and then manually upload to the new Apple ID. The following might help with that: Archive or make copies of the information you store in iCloud - Apple Support


Also note that the billing for iCloud Storage for your old ID will continue until you cancel it. Cancel by downgrading to the free 5GB plan: Downgrade your iCloud storage - Apple Support


Not sure why you had to set up a new Apple ID but having more than one Apple ID is almost never a good idea.
