Mobile Number Portability

Keep your number when switching to MTN. Switching from another network to MTN does not mean that you need to change your existing number… you just need to “port” it.

How much does it cost and how long does it take?

The Mobile Number Portability procedure is free of charge and it takes up to 4 business days to be completed. You can use your GSM line during this time without any interruptions. During the 14 days we will let you know the when and from where to collect your new MTN SIM card. At this time we will also be helping you to complete a Subscription contract along with choosing the plan and services that best suit your needs.

Where should i go to port my number?

You can visit any MTN service centre or a selected retail outlet where a Mobile Number Portability request form will be filled out with the help of an MTN representative.
