How to Port From MTN to Vodacom

So, you're ready to wave goodbye to MTN and say "hello" to Vodacom? Excellent choice!  

Switching networks might sound like a big move, but it’s easier than trying to explain your phone bill to your grandmother.  

The best part? You get to keep your number! Yes, that's right—no more changing contacts or sending out awkward "Hey, it's still me!" messages to all your friends and family.

Send an SMS with the word “PORTME” and your ID number to 30816 from your MTN SIM.  

Easy as pie, right? Once that’s done, wait for a confirmation SMS from Vodacom, insert your new SIM, and voila—you’re a proud Vodacom customer with a new network and the same old number!

Keep in mind, it might take a few hours to fully transfer, so don’t panic if there’s a brief radio silence. Just think of it as your phone’s “glow-up” phase. Soon enough, you'll be basking in your fresh Vodacom signal!

Preparing for Porting: Your Guide to a Smooth Network Transition!

So, you’re ready to port from MTN to Vodacom—fantastic!  

But, like any grand adventure, a little preparation goes a long way. First things first, back up those contacts, messages, and photos (because losing your favourite memes and that one good hair day selfie is not an option).  

Next, double-check that your MTN account is in tip-top shape; any outstanding payments can throw a wrench in the works, and we don’t want any last-minute surprises! Make sure you have a shiny new Vodacom SIM on hand (Mobile Store has you covered if you need one!).

And don’t forget to save your contacts to your phone instead of the SIM—no one wants to accidentally delete their whole contact list mid-port.

Once you’re all set, take a deep breath, send that “PORTME” SMS to 30816, and sit back while the magic happens.  

Soon enough, you’ll be officially on Team Vodacom! Ready for the switch? Visit Mobile Store to grab your new SIM, and let’s make this porting process as smooth as your favourite playlist.
