Taking old work mobile number

[dodo]

Just wondering when I leave my job where I have a mobile bill phone paid by job,as I have all my contacts on the phone can I ask to take this number or would it cost issue's to them, also I would be going onto a topup phone.

If it's a work number, would you not run the risk of continuing to get work-related calls even though you're not there any more?

If you got a new personal phone & number now, you could copy all your contacts from the work phone onto it, and then onto the new SIM card.

That's a common enough practise here. If the company own the handset, they would more than likely want that back though, so download all contacts from the phone before you leave.
