Hi all,
I'm moving to Denmark in Jan but, I'd like to keep my UK mobile number in case I ever move back and/or for friends who may not know I'm moving.
My contract's up at start of Jan too so I was gonna port my number on to a payg sim like Asda Mobile.
1) Is porting my number on to a PAYG sim the best thing to do?
2) Which network would be best/cheapest for this purpose?

Thanks.

  • get any payg sim. port your u.k number to it. then as your answerphone message say " hi i'm living in denmark now, my danish mobile number is.............. please call me on that number & don't leave a message on this number as i no longer check it.

    just make a chargable/sms call on it every few months to keep the service.

    Virgin mobile payg and set up a DD for payments, you only get billed for usage, and you dont have to worry about it getting cut off
    ANURADHA KOIRALA ??? go on throw it in google.
  • Port your UK number to a cheap pay as go. Asda mobile (cheapest) or familymobile.co.uk. Both allow roaming so you can receive calls which you will charged for.
    Smile and be happy, things can usually get worse!
