Shimmerbright/Easymobile - missed the cut-off date - what now?

I have been overseas with my Easymobile turned off and returned on the
14th, oblivious to the fact that Easymobile was no more. I don't know
why there weren't texts waiting for me, or why I didn't receive the
emails they supposedly sent (I have had emails about Easymobile credit
card debits no problem).

Strangely, my phone carried on working until yesterday, and I only
worked out what the problem was tonight!

It looks like I missed the deadline for porting my number. Any advice
on what to do?

Thanks,

David

You should be able to use it up until the 30th December 2006 which is
the date outgoing calls and texts will be barred.

According to the website, I'd say yes.

I used my credit up on competitions, donating and topping up my
VoIPStunt VoIP service (only allows you to have a max of 365 freedays).

One of my easymobile sims reports "subscription problem". I can't
remember where the other one is.

All the correspondance I have from EasyMobile says 13th December.

"2) Shimmerbright will withdraw its UK services on 13th December 2006. After
this date we will cancel all remaining active accounts, therefore you will
no longer be able to make calls or send text messages."
