It has been often that you are not satisfied with your mobile phone service provider. These days there are various mobile phone networks like Orange, 3 Mobile, T Mobile, O2, Vodafone, Virgin, etc offering competitive mobile phone deals, lots of benefits like free line rental, half line rental and free handsets. So, one of the reasons to change your service provider can be the high costs of your service provider than the other or the other network provider is offering a better deal than the existing one. Other reasons may be like you are not getting enough coverage and facing poor reception resulting in too many dropped calls.

Some consumers are hesitant to change their mobile phone provider even if they see a better mobile phone deal simply because they don’t want to change their existing mobile phone number. But these days, you don't have to lose your old mobile number. Depending on your carrier, you may be charged a small fee involved for the transfer of service.Most carriers can now implement Local Number Portability (LNP), which is a service that lets you transfer a phone number to another carrier. So you can take advantage of this feature to switch wireless carriers and keep the same number, or even to transfer your landline phone to a mobile phone. But you can't transfer a pager number, toll free number, or some other types of special use numbers.
