Default Looking for a mobile number....any help folks

I'm looking for a mobile number but have no idea how to find it.Basically I'm after my home number with the exception of the 01 which will have to start 07.

Does anyone know how I can find out if this is available.

Is it possible to request numbers from networks?

Have thought about texting the number to find out if it's "live" but that could be a bit weird :shock: for the owner.

Whats the prefix (07xxx) you're looking for? Once we have that we can determine which network it was assigned to originally. Once that is established, ring the network and ask if the number you want is available

Alternatively, just ring the number (using 141 first) and see if it rings!

I know roughly where cheekymonkey lives after chatting on msn and iirc what his dialling code is then I think it maybe an O2 owned number he would be looking for?

suppose its a bit cheeky, but you could just ring it and see if it connects?

by strange coincidence, the last 6 numbers of my mates mobile number are only one digit different from my mums home number!!

Thanks for the help folks.The prefix I would need is 07738 so perhaps one of you could tell me which network it's on.

Am considering doing what m3 suggests just to satisfy my curiousity :twisted:

I think you could be right SK.

@ SK: Doesn't the top of the Premiership look lovely.............at the moment!!

The list I have, it doesn't mention 07738 :? 07736 & 07739 are O2 but no listing (on my sheet) for yours Cheeky Monkey. Unless someone else has another list, i'd try ringing it now ;)
