Why not just keep your original phone number on the lowest cost possible plan? It's also good for emergencies.

I did kind of. I hated my carrier really bad (they are really bad, and i expressed my hate) so i went with a prepaid plan. Issue is after i lost the sim there is no way for me to get the same number again.

They wanted $500 from me to "downgrade" my account from the $80 i paid then to about $40 i would have paid after that. I said fuck you.
