Mobile Number Portability (MNP) Questions:

Q1. What is Mobile Number Portability (MNP)?

Mobile Number Portability (MNP) enables users to retain their existing mobile number when switching to a new mobile service provider.

Q2. How can I benefit from MNP?

The main benefit of MNP is freedom of choice and the competition that it generates.

Now you are free to choose a new mobile service provider without having to change to a new number.
This means avoiding the inconvenience of having to notify friends and associates that you have changed your number.

Q3. Who can apply for MNP?

Both prepaid and postpaid users can port. Business/Corporate accounts holders can also port.

Q4. What do you need to consider carefully before you port?

    If you have any overdue bills or have existing contracts with your current mobile service provider, the current mobile service provider will reject your port request which is made by the new mobile service provider. In such a case, you will not get a refund of the administrative porting fees (if any). Kindly ensure that you do not have any bills overdue or contracts still in place with the existing mobile service provider.

    For prepaid users, you need to know that all existing credit will expire upon successful porting and not be carried to the new mobile service provider. Therefore, you are encouraged to plan accordingly.

    You need to understand that the call charges and packages offered by the new mobile service provider may differ from your current mobile service provider. Choose wisely.

    The timing of the change. Are you planning to travel during the porting process? There may be an impact on international roaming if you travel during the porting process and if a prior understanding is not reached with the current mobile service provider.

    You need to know that value added services differ from one mobile service provider to another. The service that is on offer will not be exactly the same as what you previously had.

    All supplementary accounts must be ported with the principal account.

Q5. What if I have supplementary lines under my account?

All supplementary lines have to be ported together with the principal line.

(Note: If a customer fails to inform the new mobile service provider of this during the porting request, the porting request will be rejected.)

Q6. What if one of my supplementary line holders does not want to port?

The principal line holder must visit the existing service provider to terminate the relevant supplementary line.
The supplementary line holder will then need to re-register as a principal account holder.
Once this process is completed, then the primary principal holder (you) can port the line.

Q7. Can my number be ported without my permission?

No, it cannot. The new mobile service provider must verify the customer’s request and validate the supporting documents.

Q8. Can I decide the date and time at which my number is ported?

    No, you cannot dictate when your numbers should be ported.

    Upon receiving the porting request from you, the new mobile service provider will automatically send it for processing.

    You will be informed once the porting validation process is completed, and when your new SIM card is activated.

Q9 Before porting, I have to settle all necessary payments with the current provider. However, there will be a period between the final payment day and the porting day. To which provider do I have to pay for the transactions made during this time gap?

You will have to pay your previous mobile service provider, and ensure you do not have any past and overdue payment.

Q10. Do I get a new SIM card when I change my mobile service provider?

Yes, you will be given a new SIM card by the new mobile service provider.

Q11. Do I need to cancel my existing services before I port to a new mobile service provider?

No, you do not have to cancel your existing services.
Your existing services with the current mobile service provider will automatically be terminated once you have successfully ported to the new mobile service provider.

Q12. Will I still enjoy the same services during the porting process?

Yes, you will still enjoy the same services, except for International Roaming Services, which your current mobile service provider may suspend upon your porting request.

Q13. After porting, will I enjoy the same services from the new mobile service provider?

No, you can only port your number and not value added services.

You must re-register for all the value added services that you want to subscribe to with the new service provider. You need to know that the new service provider is not obligated to provide identical value added services.

Q14. Can my request be rejected by my current mobile service provider?

    To ensure that your porting request is approved, please ensure the following:

    No overdue payments with your current mobile service provider.

    No contract with your current mobile service provider.

    Correct identification details.

    Your account is active.
