| Number Portability |
| Can I keep my existing mobile number? |
|
Yes, ACN supports Number Porting, which will allow you to keep your existing mobile number, subject to the termination of your contract with your current provider. It is possible to transfer both pre-paid and post-paid mobile numbers to ACN.
|
| How does the number porting process work? |
|
In order to be able to port your current mobile phone number to ACN, you will need to complete an MTA and a Number Porting Agreement (NPA) together with your ACN representative. You should not cancel your subscription with the current provider as ACN can only port your number if it is still active. ACN will make sure your subscription is cancelled on the date of the porting.
Once your current provider approves the porting request you will receive a confirmation letter from ACN stating the expected porting date. In general, this will be 2 to 3 weeks after ACN has received the request to port your number. Closer to the porting date, you will receive a Welcome Letter and SIM card. You will always receive your new SIM card before the porting date.
On the porting date, replace your old SIM card with your new ACN Mobile SIM card. The new SIM card will become active during the day of porting.
Please note that numbers can only be transferred if the subscription is still active and in your own name.
|
| Can I transfer my ACN number to another service provider? |
|
Yes, however, a porting-out fee may be charged.
|
| How long does it take to transfer my number to ACN? |
|
The length of the porting process depends on the binding contract period you have with your current operator. Number portability can only occur when the binding period has ended and can take up to 6 months, but the average timeframe for this process is one month.
