I successfully ported my dad from Optus post paid to Lebara last night. Can we sign up straight away for one of the Flybuys plans or do we need to wait a whole month?

What happens if you try earlier? Do you get an error msg of some sort before or after the credit check?

  I'd wait until after the next billing/anniversary cycle.

  I switched back within an hour and it went through fine. Have the Pixel 6a and 24 month discount via flybuys.

      Yes I was an existing customer, ported out to Lebara as soon as it switched I waited about 10 mins, signed up via the website as “Existing Customer -> Add a New Service” as I already had another Optus service on my account.

        Unfortunately it says "This offer is not available for existing mobile number upgrades." when I try.
