The sim number should be written on the side of the box.

noooooooooo! My old phone is CRAP CRAP CRAP - actually I really like my new phone - it's just all this setting up and keeping my old number is a fair bit of hassle.

I've just gone from PAYG to contract (and will consequently save myself about £50 a month as I'd been spending that much on top-ups ) but am feeling mildly technophobic and blonde right now LOL.

well I just found a whole string of numbers and a few random letters thrown in on the back of it - so I've put those on the form......I guess if my new phone rings in a few days time then it's right LOL

well I've given up - tried to call them again (Vodafone) and they gave me the same (wrong) number again - so I've just transferred all my contacts onto my new phone and texted everyone with my new number.....

Now I just have to remember to tell the schools I've changed numbers LOL
