Step 1 – Buy a Smartcall VSP2 Starter Pack. Your new Vodacom SIM must be RICA-registered.
Step 2 – Send an SMS from your current (old) SIM card. SMS the word “portme” followed by your new Vodacom number to 082 767 8287.
Step 3 – Wait for SMS notifications from Vodacom and your current network. You will receive a one-time PIN (OTP) from your current network. This is for security purposes.
Step 4 – Reply with the OTP within 4 hours. The OTP is only valid for 4 hours. If the correct OTP is submitted within that time, your port request will be processed.
Step 5 – You will receive two more SMSs from Vodacom: 1) Confirmation of your port request approval. 2) Notification of your port date.
Step 6 – Ports are completed daily at 7:30 PM (Monday to Friday). Once your current network signal disappears, switch your phone off and back on.
