Go to the retail store or authorised dealer of the mobile service provider you wish to switch to. Pre-paid mobile customers bring your Government issued photo ID (a valid passport or driver's license). Post-paid mobile customers bring your Government issued photo ID and the most recent bill. For business accounts, bring proof of your authorisation to request porting on behalf of the account holder. Tell the new service provider that you would like to switch to their service but keep your old number. You will need to complete the approved Porting Request Form and any additional application documents they provide. You will be asked to send a text from your phone to 77678. You will receive a text confirming that your request has been received. Porting takes up to one working day. Then you will receive a second SMS text telling you to put in your new SIM card provided by your new service provider and you are ready to use your phone! YOUR CHECKLIST BEFORE YOU PORT... Back up your important voicemails or SMS texts. Use up all your call credits or you will lose them. Make sure your overdue post-paid mobile bills are paid and your account has not been suspended.
