You may be tired of your current network either because of high tariff, slow network, high cost of data, or simply because you want to change your network. The problem that could be associated with this is that you will lose the number that everyone knows you with. Well, it is all different now, thanks to the ease with which you can port to MTN from other networks.<\/p>\n

This service is available through the Mobile Number Portability (MNP), which makes it possible for you to transfer to MTN from your current service provider while still maintaining your phone number. The process of porting is straightforward and convenient. Another easy process is how to get your PUK after you must have moved to MTN.<\/p>\n

What Exactly Does It Means To Port From One Network To Another?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The process of porting from a particular network to another means to change one’s mobile telecommunication service provider to another. Rather than getting an entirely new line, when you port, you still maintain your previous number.<\/p>\n

This means that your current number will remain as it is, but the network provider will change. When you successfully port your line to MTN or any other network, for that matter, you will become the subscriber of your new network. Hence you will be required to use the recharge card of your new network.<\/p>\n

In addition to that, the tariff plans you will be on, as well as other packages, will all reflect your new service provider even when your phone number still appears as it was with your previous service provider.\u00a0It is worth noting that Mobile Number Portability in South Africa is not a new invention. It has been around since 2006<\/a>.<\/p>\n
