As the title says, how can I choose new mobile number from available ones?

    Go to a shop selling PAYG SIMs. Possibly, some packages have the number shown.
    Or keep ordering free SIMs until you get a number your are happy with.
    Or search ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/mobile-phone-numbers

    Some of the networks will let you know what number they have in the Gold and Silver 'pool. But they'll charge you for them.

    On Orange a Gold was £300 (something like 0777XXX7770) not sure if EE have taken this on? I know they don't use the Orange backend.

    Nice to know my number is worth at least £130. I got lucky with that one.

    EE are using the T-Mobile systems, they do offer the option to buy a gold/silver/bronze number by calling 150.
