I will probable swap the 3 sim over to the " car" phone and what balence that's left on it will probably last for enogh time to see how I get on with the 1p mobile setup. Any idea if I can move my phone number a month or so after I start using a different service and whilst both accounts would be active?



As far as I can see I would have to pay £10 every 120 days and any money unused is carried over to be used if I exceed the allowances. From what I have read if the balence goes over £10 then I could choose to use that to fund the next 120 days. (1p's minimum requirement was abandoned in 2021)
I mainly use Whattsapp over my WiFi since becoming housebound, so most of my credit is just building up.

I shall use it if I go outsida and for when I go into hospital for voice calls and data.

If you ever leave, all credit is lost. In this scenario I would use it all up by ringing one of those premium rate charity numbers used to generate donations.

I've set up my credit card to pay the £10 everyc4 months as, if this isn't paid on time after texts/emails have been sent, they cut you off, all credit is lost and, presumably, you then lose your number so cannot port it to anywhere else.
