Recently joined O2 and wanted to keep my old number which seemed to have happened on 2 January but when I text it is using a different number and causing much confusion for people- not good!  Please help?

Will it allow you to change it?

The phone reads the data from the simcard so you may have to put the sim in another phone that allows you to change the mobile number.
