I am not keeping my old number. What happens to it?

Easy: start using your new Simp number straight away.

Choose Use my new number when the app asks, and your Simp number works as soon as your eSIM is installed.

Can I choose my new number? No, sorry. Your Simp number is given out from the ones available, so there's no picking digits. Want a number you already love? Bring it with you: see Bring your number to Simp.

Your old number. It's still with your old provider, and so is any contract. There are two ways to leave them:

  • Leave with a STAC code: text STAC to 75075 from your old phone. Your old provider texts back a code. Enter it in the app when it asks if you want to keep your number, in the same box as a transfer code, so there's no awkward call to make.
  • Or tell your old provider you're leaving yourself.

What's left on your old contract, and when it ends, is for your old provider to tell you.

Changed your mind? You can still bring the old number over later, as long as it hasn't been cancelled yet. See Bring your number to Simp.

Tell your friends your new number, they'll want to know where their favourite person went.
