In case you don't yet know, number portability makes it possible for you to switch from one network to another whilest still keeping your original mobile number i.e your friends would still be able to call and reach through your original phone number though, you have switched to another network.
If you are currently on Airtel, Glo or MTN network, you can easily port to Etisalat without changing your Airtel, Glo or MTN phone numbers.
If you wish to port to etisalat, walk in to the nearest Etisalat Experience Centre or MPOS with a valid means of identification, photocopy of the ID and the mobile number you wish it be ported to Etisalat.
Right at the Experience centre, The Etisalat representative in attendance will inform you to initiate the porting process by texting “PORT” to 3232 after which the personal info needed for the porting process will be collected from you.
Following a successful porting process, a new Etisalat SIM will be issued to you. Within a maximum period of 48 hours, your Old SIM would be deactivated and stop working and afterward, your SIM services would be moved to Etisalat and then you can begin enjoying Etisalat services on your new SIM having no need for a change of your mobile number.
Points to Note
«» Once the porting process completes, for the next 90 days, you will not be able to port to another network service provider either to your previous provider or to another.
«» You will lose all the contacts, SMS and MMS stored in the OLD SIM card. Any unused airtime and bonuses on the OLD SIM would also be forfeited.
«» MNP is available to both “Post-Paid” and “Pre-Paid” (Pay As You Go) customers of all the service providers in Nigeria.
«» Please note that if your line has been barred or no longer active under your original service provider, number porting would not be possible for such lines.
