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?

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.

iCloud storage plans are linked to the Apple ID that you use for iCloud, not to specific devices or to a cell phone number. If you are signed into iCloud with the same Apple ID on your new iPhone, you should have the same upgraded storage plan.
I had to set up a newApple ID on my new phone. Is there a way I can transfer the iCloud from one ID to another?
