Port Freeze / Lock to Current SIM

[swordfish001]

Hi

I am interested to know what further steps I can take to prevent a potential unauthorised SIM swap (porting of my mobile number to another SIM) by malicious actors. I already have SIM PIN numbers setup etc. 

Does O2 have the ability to enable a "port freeze or lock my number to the current SIM"? I note in the USA some mobile providers have this function in an attempt to prevent SIM swap scams. 

Regards
