Keep or change your number

Switch your number when you collect your SIM in-branch or later by dialling 135 for free from your Connect SIM.

Important to know:

You’ll need the number you want to keep if you’re doing it in branch
If you are on a contract, switching can take up to 48 hours after you convert to prepaid
Your current network will send you a message to approve the switch
Only remove your old SIM once the switch is approved

Important to remember:

If you don’t use your number for 6 months, the SIM will be deactivated and the number may be reassigned – as per the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA).
