How much would you pay for:
JT sim - Old style but cut to size by myself. Very good condition.
It can be transfered into your name & then used on PAYG or moved onto contract. I can supply security info to do this.
The number is: 0781* 666 505.
No credit - it's laying around doing nowt.
It may go on e-bay.
Any offers????

A couple of years ago when Orange were more keen to get customers, i got (without paying a fee) my number which is 07970, then type my name on the keypad & its my number (not "pachy" but my real name),& because this is a contract OVP number i can keep it at no cost for as long as Orange exist.
I got personal numbers for some friends also, 263739 (andrew),564637 (joiner) if the number i wanted was dormant i would be given the date it was likely to go back into the system then i could adopt it for use on a fresh contract or exchange it for the persons old number.
They wont do that kind of thing now....Maybe if you paid them ??

Yeh you can still do that - you ask for a request to be sent to number allocation - they will say wether it's availble.
I've got some cracking numbers 282 686 & 282 606 with excellent prefix's - they are not for sale though.

So if I wanted 101067 xxxx7837436 I just ring up Orange and see if they are available. Can I change my contract number for these, or do I need to take out a new contract. |

When a number is given up by a person (at the end of a contract for example) a period of "holding" of 6 months has to pass before the number goes back on the system for giving out to a new customer.(this is to insure that a person on holiday or working abroad can get their number back if they want, even after giving it up) so if the number you want is in a holding period, you can get the date its holding period finish's and have it swopped onto your acount by phoning on the day, PROVIDED the old owner hasn't requested it back in the meantime.
Just thought some people may have been interested to know how the system works. |
