Hi. 

 

My current mobile number has been leaked and I am getting a few calls/messages on platforms such as WhatsApp that are unsolicited. 

 

I have wanted to move to a new number for roughly a year now anyway however have not wanted the hassle of giving the new number to everyone, etc.

 

I was wondering if it was possible to keep my old number on a PAYG SIM if I were to get a new one. I have a few friends that I would rather keep on the old number and instead use my main number only for a select few people.

 

Thanks.

You can but it would need you to take a new contract..

Transfer your current SIM to PAYG then take a new SIM only to use as the other number.
