Solved: Re: How do I know when my number is being transfer...

Sarah5 · ‎03-08-2019

I just took up a new contract and entered pac code to keep my current number. How long does it take before number transfers and how will I know when it’s being transferred to my new sim/phone 🙂

It takes 2 working days which doesn't include weekends.

You will receive a text notification to let you know when but expect Tuesday or Wednesday next week.

Your old SIM will turn off when the transfer starts and it will take a couple of hours for the number to transfer across.

Turn phone off and on to help it along.
