Hi.
I am using a Prepaid SIM card from O2 for almost 3 years. I never did any contract because I don't like to be stuck for 24 months with something that I would like to change after 2 or 3 months.
Recently I thought about moving to a different provider but I would like to keep my phone number. On the application I am doing the new provider warns me that if that is the case I will be charged by around 25 to 30 euros and that I should contact the previous provider in order to know how to go through the process of keeping the same number and how to make this payment.
I tried to contact O2 through the Hotline and I was told that I should use a special Prepaid Hotline. I tried to use the live chat and I was told that the Prepaid people are not available.
Could someone be kind to explain me what should I do to take my number to a new provider, how much are the costs and how can I pay them to O2?
Thank you in advance!

How to keep phone number when changing to a different provider

Hi Luigi,
have you already seen our . There are many informations in english instead of german. ☺️
To take the mobile number to a new provider costs 29,95 Euro. This fee will be paid by your prepaid balance. Mandate the new provider to take the number and he will contact us because of this. Which new provider did you choose?
Best regards
Michael

Thank you for your answer. I searched a bit on the English Forum and did not see anything there related with this. I wanted to post there but somehow my question ended up here.
I am thinking to go to Smartmobile (it is also o2 network) because there is now a promotion with much more data volume and also with an offer of 100 minutes and 100mb to use in EU countries for almost the same price I pay with my prepaid O2. This is good for me because I am very often outside Germany. It is a contract that I can quit every month so I don't have the problem of being stuck with a 24 month contract in case I need to leave Germany for a long time.
Once again, thank you for your explanation. I will consider about keeping the same number or getting a new one.

Yes, sure, it is possible for you to extend your contract for another 24 months. You will also keep your mobile phone number.
