I already have SIM PIN numbers setup etc.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Does O2 have the ability to enable a "port freeze or lock my number to the current SIM"? I note in the USA some mobile providers have this function in an attempt to prevent SIM swap scams.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Regards</P> Tue, 04 Mar 2025 23:50:31 GMT https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Tech-Support/Port-Freeze-Lock-to-Current-SIM/m-p/1783575#M55951 swordfish001 2025-03-04T23:50:31Z Re: Port Freeze / Lock to Current SIM https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Tech-Support/Port-Freeze-Lock-to-Current-SIM/m-p/1783593#M55952 <P>Be vigilant, <a href="https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5574963">@swordfish001</a>&nbsp;- and use the Forum Search facility!</P><P><A href="https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Pay-Monthly/Securing-an-account-against-unauthorised-SIM-Swap-Number-porting/m-p/1755399/highlight/true#M283698" target="_blank">https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Pay-Monthly/Securing-an-account-against-unauthorised-SIM-Swap-Number-porting/m-p/1755399/highlight/true#M283698</A></P> Wed, 05 Mar 2025 06:51:21 GMT https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Tech-Support/Port-Freeze-Lock-to-Current-SIM/m-p/1783593#M55952 pgn 2025-03-05T06:51:21Z
