So, this bit’s neat – and especially useful if you’re heading abroad for an extended break. You can ‘park’ your number at any time, no need to wait until your plan finishes. We’ll simply freeze it as well as any remaining unused data and credit balance right there and then, for up to 12 months. While your number is parked you won’t be able to make or receive any calls or texts, or use data.

You can unpark your number on your return, just like it was before – same unused data, same credit balance – and enjoy the rest of the days you had left on your plan when you parked it.

If after 12 months you have not unparked your number, then sadly you’ll lose it. You can park and unpark your number a maximum of 3 times every 28 days.

You can park or unpark your number in any one of the following ways:

• Logging in to your Lobster account on our website
• Using our mobile app
• Give us a call
