Hi, my contract expires end of the month, Ive been with Orange/T Mobile/EE for god knows how long and as such Im kind of attached to my number.

Im also going to be in Australia for at least 2 years, is there a way I can keep my number active as Im kind of loath to lose it.

@swampy442 : You could cancel your contract with 30-days notice & ask for it to be moved to PAYG.

To save the SIM going into hibernation due to lack of use, just remember within every 179 days (~ 6 months) to make a chargeable action like making a chargeable call or text, topping up or buying a Pack or Add-on, not just using your mins, texts or data from any Pack or Add-on you might have.
