Back in the day when I signed up with vodafone I was given the option of picking between various easy to remember 6 digit 021 numbers (on account).

Is it possible these days to pick your own specific number? 021 xxx xxx or 021 4 xxx xxx or something?

Thanks,
Blair

If a number is available then Yes but for a Postpay connection only, I have had a quick look a can see some

I could reserve one in your name if you like for 7 days

Is the OP looking for a TelstraClear account or a Vodafone account?

FYI I did meant to ask in the vodafone forum. I asked my Telstraclear account manager in relation to TCL 029 prefix, but I didn't get the answer I wanted. So I wanted to ask in relation to vodafone.

The fact we are with telstraclear for most of our telecommunications is neither here nor there - we also have an account with Telecom and having another account with vodafone is a non issue.

I have set johnr's post as the answer and he is helping me in PM so this can be locked or deleted (I would lock it in the VF forum)
