Get a specific number MTN

[RoelofDeJager]

Does anyone know if one can and how to get a specific number or find the available numbers when signing up for a contract with MTN? For instance if 083 123 4567 were available how would one know and reserve said number?

Thanks.

Numbers are assigned randomly.

I was fortunate enough to be able to choose 2 numbers when I signed up with Cell C. One number ends with 1234 and the other with 5678. I knew the agent that assisted me, and he managed to source this for me.

Keep phoning the number you want and harassing the owner of the number. Eventually they’ll give it up and then you swoop in and grab it.
