Apparently you can only keep the old number if it is a spanish one.
Went to Quesada computers to sign up with Lobster...advised that you cannot keep the uk number .shame as I have had it for 20 years!!

Surely it stands to reason that you can't keep a UK number when switching to a Spanish provider any more than if you tried to keep a Spanish number with a UK provider!

Why dont you. Move your Uk number to pay as you go and keep it in a spare phone so you can keep your old number. And then divert the your calls to the new Spanish phone number. And then your sorted. It’s easy to do.

I would expect so, she will be making an international call from UK using her UK mobile. AFAIK roaming on a UK mobile only works if the user is out of the UK.
