Stolen phone- keep the same number?

[Tom]

Has to be the worst weekend ever

First I lose my wallet on Friday night, then I lost my phone last night and even though I was back really early due to being ill I didn't even notice until today

Anyway I know to change your sim but keep the same number you have to have sim card number etc

Is there a way to keep the same number on a different sim without having those details?

Hmm, not to sure TBH (And I dont understand what your saying haha)
So I would ask your network provider.

Yeah when my phone was stolen i was on contract [dunno if you are] so my mum stopped to contract, blocked the phone and had a word with T-Mobile//Carphone Warehouse and we managed to get the same number on my new phone/contract! :thumbs:

[Tom]

Yeah I'm on contract (CPW as well) so hopefully they will

Going seeing them tomorrow, see what they say :spin2:

My brother got mugged back in December; phone your provider (O2, Orange.. whoever) and cancel the SIM card and I think you just ask them if you can keep the number and use it on your new SIM or whatever, but I know it can be done because my brother has the same number on his new phone!

yep it can be done when i changed networks i took my number with me so just phone the provider

Thanks all ... got an early upgrade yesterday (6 months early, on the condition I can't have another for 18 months :bawling:) and they let me keep my old number, blocked the old one etc :cheer2:
