Carriers & prefixes
Mobile prefixes by carrier.
Number portability applies — a prefix only shows the original carrier.
Porting rules in full
Per the MCA, porting should normally take no longer than one working day (a working day being 09:00–18:00 Monday to Friday and 09:00–13:00 on Saturday, excluding public holidays), and the rules forbid charging users directly for porting. Once ported you are tied to the new provider for at least two months; if the port fails, your existing service continues on its old terms. The donor operator may ask you to send a blank SMS to 1811 from the number being ported to prove it's yours — if it uses that check and no matching SMS arrives, it will refuse the port, so have the phone with you.
