How to find an Easy Mobile Number

You can choose an easy mobile number from those already stocked by a retail website, or you could decide on a number that means more to you personally, like your date of birth. This makes up the last 6 digits of the mobile phone number like this:

Date of Birth 6th October 1962

Mobile number would be: 07*** 061062

DOB (Date of Birth) numbers are not expensive, but do require a little patience to find.

There are millions of combinations of numbers, and no company can help you with a vague enquiry, as they need to search their database records for your number. So, put together a list of numbers that you would consider, then visit websites that offer a number search service, not all sites offer this service, so you may have to visit a few. Such sites will be able to find the last 6 digits of your chosen number relatively easily - occasionally, but not always, they may be able to find the last 7 digits by looking at the last digit of the prefix. 

Of course, any memorable date can be used to create an easy mobile number. Or, you could consider a number that spells out your name on the phone keypad. These are called Alphanumeric Numbers, and they can be great fun to create easy mobile numbers.

What is an Alphanumeric Mobile Number? 

An alphanumeric mobile number refers to the letters on the keypad of a phone. As you tap out the name, it becomes the number to call.

A number can be created using a persons name, or it can be an easy way to remember the mobile number for your trade or company name in advertising. Here's some examples:

Another option, and a brilliant gift idea is to use a favorite football club, sport or activity you are passionate about:

You get the idea !

A final word of advice, please don't try to request the full 11 digits of a mobile phone number - it's just not possible to find it for you - and you are wasting everyone's valuable time by asking.

Where to start-

If you are under contract, call your mobile phone network, or go to their website to check their policy regarding changing mobile numbers mid-contract. Most networks do allow this, and 99% of the time the answer will be ok, but it is best to check first before buying a mobile number and then find you can't transfer it for some reason. Also, you will be told that the new number you purchase needs to be on different network to your current one - to allow them to transfer it, or 'port' it as it is called, onto your account. It is a simple proceedure. See FAQ about transfer for more detail on this.

If you are on Pay as You Go, there is no problem, as you will just insert the new Gold Sim card into your phone, top up and start using it.
