I’ll be moving to the England for 3 years but would like to keep my US cell phone number I’ve had for the past 10 years.

I see people talk about google voice, but I’d rather avoid that. Is there a way to port my number from AT&T to an English carrier that uses eSIM?

I have an iPhone 15 with eSIM to give you some information on the phone I have.

Thanks.

    Google Voice is probably the cheapest option, as that’s a one-time cost without a monthly fee attached. Not sure why you’d rather avoid that. You can also move your number to a prepaid or postpaid account in the US; some of those plans can be pretty cheap. But make sure you don’t lose it due to inactivity.

    Foreign cellphone companies can’t help you here. Your UK phone number will start with +44.
