Can I switch my old mobile Phone number onto a new sim card??

Question

I had an Orange payg sim in my mobile which i have recently lost, the phone is not worth alot so im not bothered about losing it however the sim card has my number on it- so i was wondering if it is some how possible to transfer my old mobile number onto a new sim card, or something like that!!!.
Thanx in advance!!!

Answer 1

Yes contact orange and tell them your old number. Then ask them to transfer your number. They might need to give you whats called a PAC code. It'll take about 7-10 days in total to transfer your number

Answer 2

Phone orange and ask them if you have a new orange Sim card. If you have decided to change network completely, then you will need to phone Orange for a PAC code. Once you have this you can then phone your new service provider, give them this code and then after 7 days you will be able to use your old number.

Answer 3

Yes you are able to keep your old number, but you would need to ring your network in order to do so. I think this takes as long as a 7 day perdiod, but ring your network and im very sure you will be able to do that.

Good Luck
