Move abroad,
not away from your UK number.

Your UK number connects your banks, logins, family, and everyday life. Losing it should not be part of moving.

01

Bank locks you out

Your bank texts 2FA codes to your number. You can't log in. You can't move money.

02

People who matter can't reach you.

Mum calls and gets "this number is disconnected."

03

Your chat identity is locked.

WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal are your number. Lose it and you're logged out of years of chats.

I moved to Lisbon and kept my London number. My bank still works. My mum still calls. That's the whole point.

Texted PAC to 65075, gave the code to the app, done the next day. My old network didn't even fight me on it.

The honest comparison

How does Keep My Number compare to Google Voice and giffgaff for a UK number abroad?

Keep My Number is built to preserve a UK number after you move. Google Voice cannot port +44 numbers, while giffgaff keeps the number tied to a SIM, roaming rules, and regular account activity.

UK number questions, answered.

Can I keep my UK mobile number when moving abroad?

Yes. Port your +44 mobile number to Keep My Number and it stays real and active after you leave the UK. Calls, texts, and bank verification codes keep landing in the Keep My Number app — on any phone, in any country, with no UK SIM or contract to maintain.

What is a PAC code and do I need one?

A PAC (Porting Authorisation Code) is the 9-character code UK networks use to transfer a number. Text PAC to 65075 and your network must send it within a minute — it's valid for 30 days. Enter it in the Keep My Number app and we handle the rest with your old network.

How long does porting a UK number take?

One working day. Under Ofcom rules, once you hand over your PAC code the port must complete by the end of the next working day — most UK transfers finish by mid-morning. Setup in the app takes about ten minutes.

Will my UK bank codes still arrive abroad?

Yes. Your number stays a real +44 mobile number, so one-time passcodes from UK banks, HMRC, the NHS, and every app that texts you keep arriving on the number they already trust — no roaming needed.

Can I use Google Voice to keep my UK number?

No. Google Voice only ports active US mobile numbers — UK (+44) numbers aren't eligible at all. Keep My Number ports UK numbers directly using your PAC code and keeps them active worldwide.

Do I pay roaming fees to receive calls or texts abroad?

No. Vodafone charges up to £8/day and O2 £7/day to roam outside Europe, and both apply fair-use limits that rule out living abroad long-term. Keep My Number has no per-day charges and no country tiers — one flat price covers your number everywhere, forever.

Can I still use a local SIM or eSIM in my new country?

Yes. Your +44 number lives with Keep My Number, independent of whatever local SIM or eSIM you use for data. You keep your UK number for calls, texts, and codes while using any local plan you like.
