I have an extra cell phone whose number I want to keep. Right now it's forwarded to another phone, but I pay too much for it. I want to port its number elsewhere and forward it (or maybe collect voicemail for it that I can get out somehow) for the time being.

What's my cheapest option?


One idea would be to explore the pre-paid mobile plans available in your area. Those can often be the cheapest way to hang onto a functional handset+number.
