Is there still a way to choose your own Prepay SIM number?

I used to go through the Vodafone website and it would give me a choice of prepay numbers before purchase.

Walk into a store and ask to see Prepay SIM packs on offer is really the only way now

Other way would be on account, then move to prepay. I think?

Can you move an On account plan to a very basic Prepay Pay & Go plan?

I have one son on Prepaid for emergencies, I add $10 to the account every 6 months or so and he is only charged minimal rates for phone calls and text messages.

Looking to set the other son up on the same system.

I believe the ability to move from on account to any prepay plan has been available on Vodafone for quite some time. You grab a prepay pack, then follow the number port process.
Maybe someone from or X Vodafone can confirm.
