Is There a Wait Time to Port My Mobile Number?

Hi Everyone.

I have a phone number with Boost and I would like to port out. It's 27 days since I ported in from Amaysim. Am I able to port out at any time or do I need to wait a certain number of days? Thought I should check as the rules keep changing.

Cheers.

    No there's no waiting time, it's usually best to wait 24hrs but I've ported in and out within 20 minutes.
    The only thing you need to be careful about is sometimes if you are returning back to the same company within 30days you can find the system has trouble taking back your number and you need to contact them directly to get it fixed but that's pretty rare.
    What company are you porting from boost to if you don't mind sharing that info?

  • Optus.

  • Better waited for a longer time.
    My story is: I ported in and out from optus to Boost mobile. Then my number was disappered in optus's system. When someone with optus trying to call me(including its virtual carriers), they will get an error message, the number you dialled is disconnected.
    It's finally fixed after several calls to optus.
