Looking at options to keep an old mobile phone number active. Currently it's in an old iPhone (which needs regular charging), on Three's PAYG (321) so I just top up maybe once a year and it's peanuts to keep. I use it for receiving texts (mainly OTP login codes). Calls are diverted to my main mobile number.
But ... I wouldn't mind ditching the second phone. However as I'm a tight arse I haven't come up with an easy solution that's cheap enough.
Nicest way would be to use an eSIM in my iPhone, but EE want £9 month for that.
Had a look at VOIP options, but it seems they don't handle receiving texts that well.
Maybe I just stick with the PAYG SIM and get a cheap handset that I don't have to charge so often.
Any other options I haven't considered ? thanks.
