Keep your UK number. Leave the SIM behind.
Park your number with us before you go. Every text it gets lands in your email, and you can take it back whenever you like.
£39 a year per number. Port out free, any time.
A SIM in a drawer runs out of time.
Many networks switch off a pay-as-you-go SIM after about six months without use. Then the number goes to someone new, bank codes and all.

Three steps. Do them before you go.
You need the old SIM once, to get your PAC. After that the number looks after itself.

Read your texts in email
Texts find you wherever you land.
Each one arrives as an email with the message in the subject line, so a code shows on your lock screen within seconds. There's no roaming to pay for and no SIM to keep charged.
Room for every number you're not using.
An old work number, a second SIM, the one your bank knows. Park up to five on one account, each at the same price.
The fine print, in large print.
It does
- Receives every text, one-time codes included
- Stays registered to you while it's parked
- Works anywhere you can read email
- Keeps a copy of every text in your account

Answer calls
Callers hear that the phone is switched off.

WhatsApp needs a number on a mobile network.
Coming next
- Voicemail to email
- Push alerts on your phone
Nobody moves your number but you.
A parked number often gets your bank's codes, so moving it out is slow on purpose.
- Sign in with an authenticator app or a passkey
- Your password again before any number can move
- An email with a cancel link, and 24 hours to use it
- An alert whenever someone signs in
No clamps. No tow truck.
If a payment fails, the number stays live while we get in touch. We never release a parked number without reaching you first.
Leaving is free too. Ask for your PAC from your account and we never block it, even with a payment outstanding.
One price per number.
Long stay if you know you'll be away a while, short stay if you're not sure yet. Switch between them whenever you like.

Questions people ask first.
- Will my bank notice?
- No. The number doesn't change, so nothing on your accounts needs updating. Codes arrive as texts and reach you by email.
- Which networks can I move from?
- Any UK mobile network, on pay-as-you-go or a contract. If you're still in a contract, your network may charge you to leave it early.
- How do I get it back?
- Request a PAC from your account and give it to any UK network. The move usually completes the next working day.
- Who runs Parked Mobile?
- Clyde Works Limited, in Glasgow. Your number stays on UK numbering, where Ofcom protects your right to move it.
Park it before you go.
It takes five minutes, while the old SIM is still in your hand.
