Yes — all existing mobile numbers are ported to the new SIMs. Your team keeps the same numbers with no service interruption. Telexico manages the full porting process.
A data pool shares allowances across all SIMs — one heavy user doesn't run out while another SIM has unused data. This eliminates overage charges that are the biggest hidden cost of individual contracts.
