I have just taken up a deal with Lobster...my queries are..
1 Is there an easy way of letting all my uk contacts know my new number?
2.Will my UK online banking still be available?
3.Ditto Spanish bank..
Any advice greatfully received ( if not fully understood!- this is usually something the kids would do for me!).

Send a text with the new number. Then send to all.
2.Will my UK online banking still be available?
Yes. Natwest accepts my Spanish number and uses it quite often, especially as they now seem to send me a code every time I log in. Just tell them what the new number is. Be careful with credit cards from other suppliers, though, as some of them will insist you need to be a UK resident.
3.Ditto Spanish bank..
Again, just tell them the new number.

Not that I know of.

Depends on the bank and if they will accept a non UK phone number to send SMS's to.

3.Ditto Spanish bank..

Can't see any reason why not.

Your online banking should be okay if you are using the same device, mine was until I used my new phone then you need to get things sorted with your bank. ie they send you a code etc to prove that it's you thats accessing your account.

Could you not keep your old number?
I'm sure I've seen somewhere that you can keep your old number?
