I requested to change my old number but have since regretted it as I have gained a ‘recycled’ number and are receiving unknown messages and phone calls. Is there a way of requesting my old number back?</P> Wed, 03 Aug 2022 18:10:58 GMT LChristopher 2022-08-03T18:10:58Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/SIM-cards-Porting/Old-Number/m-p/1157073#M29566 <P>Hello,&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>When joining EE I transferred my old number with me from o2.

That would have meant you could have kept your number from 02 and would not have received a new number, old numbers are always recycled after a certain time, as otherwise there would not be enough numbers and networks would run out of numbers.</P> Wed, 03 Aug 2022 18:31:58 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/SIM-cards-Porting/Old-Number/m-p/1157077#M29567 Schockwave 2022-08-03T18:31:58Z
