Hi everyone, I have just moved to the US from the UK and need to get a new cell phone contract , I have had the same mobile number for over 10 years and don't want to lose it as I rely on it for business . Does anyone know if there is a way that I can retain my number when moving to a new US cell provider?
Thanks in advance!

If you have a US number you can keep it with most carriers. I'm not sure about a UK number. I know you can set up a phone to auto-dial another number. I don't know if this helps.

USA has different codes and different phone numbers as opposed to the ones in the United Kingdom.
You may not be able to use the same number since the coding system is different.
