Hi

I recntly bought an Orange and transferred my number to it. Then I bought an O2 - the O2 is good because I can make free oversaes calls using the inclusive minutes and I can't with Orange.

Do any of the experts know if I Can Imove my number from Orange to O2 and return to the old Orange number?

They are both on cashback so I need to ratin the contracts.

Thanks!
Joe

    The number reversion sounds a bit unlikely, but did you look at Pre-dial as well as Simply-Fone? - access via Orange call-through number

    Think the only way you can do it is to ask orange for your PUK code and then ask them to send you a new sim card out with a new number for your contract.When you port a number from a sim that sim dies.

    Seems a lot of hassle,the best way would be to just use an O2 sim with a new number.:)
