How to port a number
You may want to port your existing number. To do this, follow these steps instead:
- Now that you have your Vodafone SIM, please confirm the receipt of it by emailing your Account Admin and they will advise you on the next steps to initiate the Port.
- Before we move you to Vodafone, please listen to and note the detail of any saved Voicemail. Any saved voicemail messages will not be able to be retrieved once the porting process commences. If you have contacts stored on your current provider’s SIM card, please save them to your device –You can check how to complete this via the manufacturer instructions at: www.vodafone.com.au/support/device/transfer-contacts
- Prior to the number port commencement, you will receive a text message confirming the port is about to occur. Please wait until your service stops working (around 15-30min). You will see the signal symbol change or “SOS” appear where the signal icon normally is.
- Only when you have lost service connection, remove the old SIM and replace it with the new Vodafone SIM. You may need to turn the device off/on for the new network connection to be recognised.
- When the device restarts you may be prompted to download new ‘network’ or ‘carrier’ settings, please accept these if asked.
- You can set up and access your Voicemail by dialling 121. For iPhone users, dial 1217 to set up Visual Voicemail, then follow the steps in the Voicemail tab of the phone app.
Now let’s set up your device
If you can’t take a call, your Voicemail will.
When your phone is switched off, you’re busy on another call or unable to answer your phone, incoming calls divert directly to Voicemail. Once you’re contactable, Voicemail will let you know you have a new message.
Setting up Voicemail
- Dial 121 to set up and access your Voicemail
- If this is the first time you are accessing Voicemail, you need to choose a security code, a 4-digit number of your choice. You cannot use sequential numbers (e.g. 1234) or repeated numbers (e.g. 7777)
- Follow the prompts to record your personal greeting and to set up your preferred Voicemail alert notification
