A phone number switching method and an associated apparatus are provided, where the phone number switching method may be applied to a first electronic device. For example, the phone number switching method may include the steps of: determining whether a predetermined activity corresponding to both of the first electronic device and a second electronic device occurs, to generate a determination result; and according to the determination result, selectively sending a switching request from the first electronic device to a service provider, wherein a phone number is previously associated to a first subscriber identity module (SIM) within the first electronic device by the service provider, and the switching request asks for re-associating the phone number to a second SIM within the second electronic device.
