Prospective customers can now switch to Telkom from other networks and still maintain their phone numbers. This service is very beneficial to customers as they do not have to bother about giving out new numbers to their previous contacts. Before discussing how to port from other networks to Telkom, let’s see what sim port means.<\/p>\n

Mobile Number Portability<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Mobile number portability<\/a> is a service that enables users of network providers to switch from one network provider to another without having to change their mobile number. Before 2006, Mobile number portability was impossible, and due to that, many cell phone users had to stay with network providers they were not comfortable with to avoid losing their numbers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In 2005, the number portability company was established. The company is jointly owned by different telecommunication companies in South Africa, such as MTN, Neotel, Cell C, Vodacom, and Telkom, and in 2006, Mobile number portability was introduced officially.<\/p>\n

The introduction of this service in South Africa made it possible for customers to switch between networks while retaining their numbers. In April 2010, geographic number portability was also introduced in South Africa, but its geographic portability is only possible between the same network provider.<\/p>\n

Today, South Africa and the United States of America are the only countries where number portability is possible in fixed and mobile lines.<\/p>\n
