Swapping my phone number with wifes phone

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I`m about to get a new iphone6 but would like to give it to my wife and have have her old iphone 4s.

How easy would it be to transfer my wifes old number to my iphone6 account and my number to her iphone4 account. Basically swapping numbers between two phones/accounts. Were both on O2 contracts/accounts so no inter-phone company hassle to include.

Thanks,

Yes they do ask you to top up on a payg SIM card before leaving the store but one can order online and wait for it to be posted without having to top up

Hi. Thanks for the reply. The problem with that is that they have different tarrifs and i`d like my wife to have the new iphone 6 tarrif but with her number.

nay ideas?

Cheers.

The only way you could do it was to cancel the current contract and port the number to a new one. No other way possible unless CS were willing to switch the allowances around account side but it's not something they do usually.

As CS are swamped with iPhone related calls at the moment, it would probably be best to get your new phone and deal with trying to do your swap in a few weeks after the dust has settled.

Hi all,

This is proving to be a bigger pain in the b*m than I thought. All I wanted to do was get my wife an upgrade and couldn`t just upgrade her account/phone for her if she wasn`t there. I had to upgrade mine and hope i could swap it all over afterwards. Looks like we`ll be getting each others calls for a bit then. Tsk,

Cheers.

You could just treat her and buy her a sim free 6 from Apple, then sell your phone and use the 4s

When I win the lottery that will be my first port of call. Until then...............
