THIS NEWS MARKS THE START OF A NEW DAWN IN THE NIGERIAN TELECOMMUNICATION SECTOR. NUMBER PORTABILITY: WHICH IS THE ABILITY TO SWITCH NETWORKS WHILE KEEPING YOUR EXISTING NUMBER IS NOW LIVE.

So what if you want to port your number here is what you should do:

• Walk in to any office of the recipient network (network you intend to port to) and request for your line to be ported.
• The agent you talk to is required to educate you on the implications of porting your line, please listen attentively to him/her. Some things which would be said, (such as the fact that you lose all your bundles, credit, etc from the donor network, and the fact that you can only port once in 90 days) are important so as to ensure that you know fully what you are getting into.
• The agent would then request some information from you (e.g Name, Date of Birth, address etc). This information must tally with the information you gave while registering your SIM. If there are changes to the information, you must inform the agent while giving the requested information.
• You would also be required to provide valid identification: eg, Driver’s license, International passport etc. If you don’t have one, the agent is required to take a picture of you for records purposes.
• You would be presented with a Porting Request Form to sign. Signing that form authorizes the recipient network to close your account with your current (donor) network.
• You would also be required to text the keyword “PORT” to 3232. Note that after sending this text, the process cannot be reversed.
• You will then be presented with a new SIM from the recipient network to which your current number would be provisioned to, the SIM may or may not be free, that is at the discretion of the recipient network.
• You will get a text message informing you to insert your new SIM when the porting process is completed (takes 48hrs).
