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.
