Anyone know if i buy a new mobile phone whats the best way i can keep the same phone number the phone i want to get is on the orange network and the one i have now is vodaphone so shall i unlock it to vodaphone i`ve got a program off ebay that is supposed to do it and then swap the sim card over from my old phone so i can keep the same number and if so does it keep all the stored numbers and stuff on the card? Or can I phone orange or them and vodaphone to transfer my old number to a new phone and do they charge to do it?

Stop for breath before making any decisions for gods sake...

OK, is it a contract phone or a pay-as-you-go?

Pay as you go

Onan The Barbarian

Ah......well I know that if you're on a contract you can a code from Vodafone which allows Orange to port your number over to their network

I suggest you ask Vodafone the question and they will probably tell you the same

The only issue that you might face is that the handset might be locked to the Vodafone network but you should be able to find a place in your town that unlocks phones for a reasonable price

You can port your number whether your on pay as you go or contract.

Great cheers do they charge for it?

to port your number you need to contact your service provider ie Vodafone then contact orange and give them the details takes about a week i think

If you store the numbers on your phone when you sswap cards your numbers will still be on the phone.

as for cost, not sure as ive necver done it

Ok thanks Dazza.

you need a pac code, Orange charge £14

you get your new phone which if contract is a gsm non network locked item.

you run your old sim until the change happens, then you insert your new sim,

which has your number sent/ transferred to it.

For p&g i believe that you have to use the new number for around 14 days,

then its transferred automatically as above
