Switch to Smart, keep the same number w/ simpler MNP process

Smart is now offering a simpler Mobile Number Portability (MNP) process which allows customers to switch SIM without changing their mobile number as easy as three (3) steps.

Step 1: Get your 9-digit Unique Subscriber Code (USC) from your current network provider.

• Valid for 15 days, the USC serves as clearance that your account is free from unpaid fees and balances.

Step 2: Get a Smart 5G-ready MNP SIM and apply online.

• If you’re switching to a Smart Prepaid or TNT account, you can get your 5G-ready MNP SIM by heading to any Smart Store nationwide or having it delivered to your doorstep by ordering it online. On the other hand, if you’re porting into a Smart Postpaid account, you can secure your 5G-ready MNP SIM by booking an appointment at your preferred Smart Store.

Step 3. Activate your Smart 5G-ready SIM.

• Upon getting your Smart 5G-ready MNP SIM and completing your MNP application, you can activate it by dialing *123# and following the steps on the screen. You will receive a text notification upon successful activation.

Smart says that switching to Smart comes a bunch of ‘awesome perks’ and ‘rewarding experiences’ including a 9GB data freebie for prepaid subscribers.
