Changing from pay monthly to prepaid

I am currently on a pay monthly, sim-only plan in the UK. I am going to move out of the UK definitively but want to keep my number. Is it possible to change to prepaid https://vshare.onl/ https://omegle.onl/ and how do I do that? I am already abroad so I cannot hop into a shop.

Providing you are out of contract @cristineg you can certainly change to PAYG.  Follow this link: How do I switch between Pay monthly and Pay as you go? 

 

Vodafone have a long term roaming policy here: Long Term Roaming 

 

If you are going to be overseas on an extended period and want to retain the number, to avoid disconnection it may be better to leave the SIM with a friend or relative in the UK and just get them to make the occasional chargeable activity or top up.  If you refer to the T & C's for PAYG Vodafone allow 180 days of non use before disconnecting the number and there will ben text notifications before disconnecting the number.

Hey @cristineg I know how important it can be to keep your number - as @AnnS has mentioned, you'd need to use a chargeable service at least once every 180 days to keep it active on Pay as you go. 

It's important to note that moving a number from Pay monthly to Pay as you go is a network action and we can't guarantee this will work whilst you're roaming - as you won't be on the Vodafone network.
