Porting of you cellnumber is moving from one service provider to another without loosing your number.
MTN allows you to move port to MTN and keep your number.
The service is free, though you are still responsible for any costs incurred if you cancel an existing contract early.
How to port to MTN:-
- Buy an MTN SIM pack from your nearest MTN store or participating retail outlets (do not open the sim pack as yet.)
- Be ready with your Identity Document (ID) together with your proof of residence.
- While still in MTN shop, RICA your new MTN SIM card.
- From your current SIM card, SMS PortMe# plus the new-MTN-SIM-number to 083 767 8287 (normal SMS rates apply)
- You will receive an SMS, confirming whether your request was authorized or declined to port to the MTN network.
- Remove your current operator SIM card from your phone the next day and insert your new SIM card into your phone.
- Dial 136 to activate your new SIM card.
Your SIM card will now be active.
