Keeping Mobile Number

[Boto]

I want to keep my mobile number but change network as Vodafone's (my current network) coverage is useless here. I know I have to obtain a number from Vodafone, I don't suppose it's the PUK number, is it? TIA

you tell vodaophone you want to port your number. Its called A PAC number (Port Authorisation Code)

[murraymints]

No think it's called Mac code

[murraymints]

Pac sounds better

When I searched for an answer to my question (before posting the question) only 1 question came up and didn't really answer it but when you all had answered there were loads of questions! So sorry everyone - I do try and find the answer myself first.

Yea PAC is right.

I know this won't apply to you, as you're going to be switching networks, but for future reference, you can only port your number when switching networks; not if you're staying with your current network provider.

So, for example, if you were with Vodafone and you wanted to start a new contract, you wouldn't be able to port your old number to your new contract. You could obviously upgrade your existing contract, thereby keeping your number, but sometimes that's not possible.

I Know it sounds a bit, but that's how it works .........
