My dad's contract is coming to an end so he wants to get a new contract most probably with a different network/company (he's with BT at the moment), but he wants to keep the same number.

What's the best/easiest way to do this?

Would prefer to buy online too for possibly a cheaper deal + cashback.

    What you have to do is ask your current network for a port number, then when you get a new phone on another network, ring them and give them the port number. I think it takes a couple of days or so to be transfered.
    I came into this world with nothing and I'm gonna leave with nothing.
