To port in branch:
- We will need your ID number and the cellphone number you want to port
- The porting request is sent to the National Porting Company. This may take up to 48 hours to process. You’ll receive regular SMS updates on the progress
Note: Your current service provider may contact you to approve the request.
If your number isn’t used within a 6-month period, the SIM will be deactivated and the number recycled as per ICASA requirements.
