How Long Does It Usually Take for Mobile Number Porting?

It probably depends on the operator so…

From Telstra to Vodafone?

    Anywhere from 1 hour to 48 hours. Though this usually excludes weekends and public holidays.

    Between 10 mins to 48 hrs

    Do it monday to Friday 9to5pm
    Or Saturday before 11am
    For faster turnarounds

    Did one today - Vodafone to Boost. Only took a couple of minutes.

  • My brother transferred from iinet to lebara. Once the authentication code was entered it was pretty much done in leas then a minute, i transferred from postpaid telstra to a $200 boost sim. Took around 1 hour. Had to call boost and do it. But was easy and had full access to the sim, what was even better. I didn't even have to switch off or restart my phone. Popped the sim tray out. Switched over and plugged back in and it was completed

  • All of 5 min usually

    Do it mid morning on a Monday, that’s the best time. If shit goes wrong, gives plenty of time for issues to be sorted

    Remember that you need to keep your sim from your old provider active as you’ll receive an sms with a code

  • I started the porting process around 2pm today (Boost to Amaysim)..

    I was told it can take 1-3 business days..

    My question, is there a chance porting can happen after hours or over the weekend?

    • EDIT - My porting completed at 8:30pm
