What is number porting?
Number Porting allows you to keep your existing mobile number when you move
from one network to another. This can either be a Pay As You Go or a Contract
number. You will be required to contact your existing network provider
to obtain a PAC (Porting Authorisation Code).
How long does it take to port my number?
Number Porting usually happens within 7 working days; your new network will be able
to give you exact times. On the day of porting you may notice a short disruption
of service.
Can I port my existing Pay As You Go number to a new Contract?
Yes you can, providing it's to a different network. You can't transfer your number
within the same network, e.g: porting from Orange Pay As You Go to Orange Contract.
