Number porting.

Hi just joined. 

 

Is it possible to keep my new number? 

But also keep old number? 

Port in old number and transfer new number to PAYG?

    When you port in an old number, the new number dies off and is eventually recycled, so the only way I can think to keep the new number is to first  port it out to a new network.

    You then activate a new sim with Smarty and port in the 'new' number to that sim.

    Next, you start another sim and port in the 'old' number.

    You should then have two sims, one with the 'new' and one with the 'old' number.

    Complicated? You bet!! Time to lie down in a darkened room!
