Can I use my phone during the porting process?

Generally, your existing service with your old provider will continue to work until the port is complete. There might be a very brief period of downtime (minutes to a few hours) when the actual switchover happens, but providers aim to minimize this. My Country Mobile will advise on the expected behavior.

Will I lose my voicemail messages when I port my number?

Voicemail messages are typically stored with your service provider, not on the SIM card (for mobiles) or directly tied to the number in a way that automatically transfers. It's highly recommended to listen to and save any important voicemails before the porting process is finalized, as they are unlikely to transfer to your new provider.

Is there a cost to port phone number?

Your old provider cannot charge you a fee for porting your number out. However, you might still be responsible for any outstanding balance on your account or early termination fees if you are under contract. Some new providers might charge a nominal activation or porting fee, while others waive it as an incentive. For details on any applicable fees with My Country Mobile, please see our transparent pricing information.

What if my porting request is rejected?

Porting requests can be rejected for various reasons, most commonly due to mismatched account information (name, address, account number, PIN), an inactive number, or an account freeze. If your request is rejected, My Country Mobile’s porting team will notify you with the reason provided by the losing carrier and guide you on the steps needed to correct the issue and resubmit the request.

Can I port my number if I have an outstanding balance with my current provider?

While you can initiate a porting request, an outstanding balance might cause your current provider to reject the port until the dues are cleared. It's best practice to settle any significant outstanding balances before starting the porting process to ensure a smoother transition.
