swap numbers between two SIMs
Maybe this will sound like a strange question, but here goes! I have two PAYG SIMs from two different networks A and B. What I would like to do is to swap the phone numbers between them. Is that possible? I know how to port a number from A to B, but then the A SIM would go dead (and I'd lose the credit), and I'd lose the B number. I've tried to think if it would be possible by using a third SIM (C) temporarily - porting number from B to C first, but then B would go dead and so I couldn't port A to B. Am I just hoping for too much?

You would need to consider how much you sue each number to decide which you transfer to the new sim as you would need to pay for that useage, even if it is for a few days.
You also need to consider networks in that sim C will need to be a different network to the other two as most won't allow porting within network.
So you would port A --> C --> E and B --> D --> F.
The sacrificial C and D sims will need activating and that will incur a cost (is Lebara 1 month contract cheapest?).
Porting my main number which I've had for ~20 years gives me the fear. I'd need a very good reason to attempt what you want to do unless the numbers were not that important.
