Transferring Mobile Numbers? Possible?

Samsungnote10 on 12/07/2020 - 19:35

currently looking at getting a premium number from amaysim on prepaid before it gets taken,
and possibly give it to someone else at a later date

is this a painful process?

does anyone know if I am able to just transfer just one number out, as I have mine and my familys plan on the same account?

has anyone done it before?

Easy to transfer owner ship with Amaysim | 2. You should be able to transfer it out as long as it’s not in a bundle/family plan (if this was the case you may lose some discounts, etc.).

  "I will remain liable for all charges incurred in relation to the service until it is transferred to the New Account Holder including the $20 change of account holder fee"
  
  in the T&Cs,
  
  $20 transfer fee!
  thats a bit sneaky

Transferring a single number should not be an issue. Perhaps open it on a standalone account rather than linking it to your existing account?

You can always port it out to Optus later on, and do the ownership changes with Optus after it’s been ported. That’s what I did for my parents. Free of charge. Done on the spot in store.

  im assuming the receiving party also needs to be present?

    It would be easier to do it with Amaysim though as the other party doesn’t need to be present as Amaysim is online only.
