Lost Phones... keep the same number?

    Today I stupidly dropped my phone down a drain. Don't ask me how or why, but I did.

    I was wondering, can I buy a new phone, yet still keep the same number? It was really easy to remember and everyone already knows it...
    I'm on the 3 network, and I know my dad did this years ago with Vodafone, so I thought I could use some help from boards

    Go in and ask for a replacement sim. Your first one should be free but I think 3 charge for subsequent replacements

    Thanks, I'm heading to the 3 store in town tomorrow, so I'll ask someone. :)

    I think its a requirement that you are allowed two free a year.

    I don't think so. iirc I've only got one replacement (maybe two) and they charged me €19 the last time

    I thought you were allowed 2 free once you didn't damage them yourself
