Mobile phone guides: questions
How do I switch mobile networks without losing my number?
Text PAC to 65075 from your current SIM. Your provider replies with a Porting Authorisation Code that is valid for 30 days. Hand that to your new network when you sign up and they will move your number across, usually within one working day.
