Ring the change: You can now switch mobile phone network and hold on to your existing phone number

Article Abstract:

Mobile phone users can now change network and retain their existing phone number. A reason for changing networks is to get a cheaper tariff, but it is important to check the new network's coverage in the areas where the phone is most likely to be used. New customers signing up to traditional tariffs usually purchase a subsidized phone, but if you are switching networks and retaining your phone and number, you will receive a new Sim card which is plugged into the existing phone.
