jbeer Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Hi All, As per title really, this is new to me and fancy getting my son a decent mobile number of which I have seen plenty around on eBay etc... Has anyone got any experience in buying a cherished mobile number? Any pitfalls I should watch out for or tips of where to start looking would be great.

jeebowhite Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I don't believe they are genuine are they? As like number plates you only get a range, so no doubt you will find it hard to get them. Contact your mobile provider and ask them about it as they can probably allocate one reasonably.

jbeer Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 They do seem to be a few websites out there…had not thought of contacting my network provider :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Yeah, these people will sell on behalf of, or will have deals much like Comparison sites but at the end of the day go direct I'd more often cheaper and easier! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Unless there are some records of when these numbers where first used I wouldn't do it, you might find that it gets bombarded with spam calls and texts the moment you start using it. At least you don't have that problem with private plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 True that, I use false numbers when signing up to something that insists I must have a mobile number, I tend to make one up that could never be used, but I feel sorry if that's a private number owned and operated by someone...
