If I sign up for a plan, and choose to port my old number when ordering my sim card, will I still be able to use that phone number with my existing mobile provider, while I await for the new sim card to arrive? Or does the phone number get frozen for the 2 -3 days that I will have to wait before my new sim card arrives? What happens to the ported number while I await for my sim card to arrive?
