Yes, you can. However, we recommend waiting until your old number has been transferred to your new SIM card. Otherwise, you will have two different phone subscriptions running at the same time, which means you have to pay for both.
To begin with, you need the phone number that you wish to keep. You'll also need the new SIM card that you receive from Lebara. And lastly, you'll need to pick a date for when you wish to transfer your old number to your new SIM card.
In some cases, the actual transfer may take place on a different date than the one you request. This might happen, for example, if the final day of your old subscription is on a different date than the transfer date you requested. In that case, we will inform you by email.
Yes, you can. Please contact our customer support in that case. If you decide that you do not want to keep your old number after all, you can cancel your request by calling our customer service no later than 2 working days before your scheduled transfer date.
You must have a Lebara SIM card in order to request to keep your old number. Once your old provider approves your request to transfer your old number, we will let you know the date on which your temporary number will be disconnected. You cannot use the Lebara SIM card with the temporary number unless you activate it first.
