Jimbo 172 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I've had mine about 3 months, I change it every contract renewal, I think it's a great way of filtering out dullards that have your number, it's never been a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3161 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Since '94 but the prefix was changed around '98 because when they closed the analogue network all prefix numbers went from three to four digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM4 0 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I really don't like the idea of changing numbers. When changing phones I would even rather pay a little more if I must to keep the same number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4256 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I've had my personal one for 13 years but I never use it any more as I have had a phone from work for 3 years which has personal usage so everyone has that number. Everyone I know has had the same number since their first mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonraider 0 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Always had the same number, about 9 years I suppose. And I've always been with Orange too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Hog 488 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 About 8 years, previous to that (on Pay as you go) when I got a new phone I'd keep the sim that came with it so I was changing my sims reasonably regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donaldstott 0 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Had the same personal number for 10-11 years, since I first got a phone. I refuse to get rid just in case a dream job wants to get in touch... Got a work blackberry now, but I generally leave that in the house at weekends in order that they remain work free.

Happy Face 29 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 A company will begin offering a directory service from next week that allows people to find the mobile phone numbers of people they don't know.Run by 118800, it will cost £1 and use databases of numbers it said are freely available for purchase and in the public domain. Anyone searching for a number can type the name and location of the person into the 118800 website. It claims to have some 15m numbers in its database. Privacy campaigners have been angered by the system despite it getting the all-clear from the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/work...nch/8091621.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugly Mackems 133 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Had mine about 14 years. Been with Orange all the way and would honestly say they have overcharged me for about 10 of those years til I fucked them off on the contracts and went 'sim-only' My bills dropped from £40+ pm to no more than £12 pm. Can honestly say I use my phone exactly the same as when I was in a contract. Sim-only is the way to go. £10pm = 100 x-net mins and 300 texts. I know other networks do even better than that for £10 but it suits me fine. My first phone was like a fucking house brick and I genuinely used to get embarrassed if it rang because I used to think what I thought before I went mobile - 'what a cunt' Did literaly have the pick of my number so chose summit easy to remember.
