One number for all..

Please can anyone point me in the right direction so that I can give people just one contact number as I have multiple sim cards and it is impractical for my friends and family to have different numbers. The other consideration is that it is not expensive for them to use, and please can you let me know if you use them and how good they are.
Many thanks.

    The only trouble is my sim cards are on different networks.

    I think that you are thinking of personal numbers which start 070. These are more expensive than mobile numbers (50p/min or more from mobiles) and usually don't come out of inclusive minutes.

    Hi,

    Have you thought about diverting all your calls on to one number, ie cheapest one over all, this is an expensive soloution. It will cost you, tell the other person that you will ring them back and give them your other number.

    Thanks

    leave voicemails on all your numbers saying " this number is no longer in use call me on bla bla bla "

    Thanks for all the advice, but I do like the idea of the dual sim card, see if I can get one for my model.
    Regards.

    With a dual SIM, you won't be able to receive calls on both numbers at once.

    Unless you divert calls, which is either expensive or not possible on many payg SIMs, I think you'll have to work towards using only one number
