MTN Port In

[grant_cpt]

Curious is anyone has been able port in their Telkom landline number to MTN?

Currently had to "port" Telkom landline number from copper to Telkom Simcard, and the service is even worse now.

Many porting problems in the last couple of months reported here on the forum.

Good luck!

PS: You could probably port your number to a VOIP service as well ... but who knows ...

I am considering this as an option, however, the location where the number is used doesn't have a fibre connection, and the best option after that is Fixed LTE.

Now I'd rather want to make use of VoLTE than VoIP over LTE as VoLTE already has got builtin QoS for those packets transversing the LTE (Data) network

I wonder whether the difference is detectable at all.

There are so many VOIP providers nowadays.

So, if big differences remained between VOIP and VOLTE, there would have been a mutiny by now?

If you using that telkom phone, get the more expensive one.

So the exact issue at the moment is that Telkom doesn't offer VoLTE on the sim card provided. So this means that the sim is on their 4G network, but has to switch to 3G in order to receive the call. During this switching process, something goes wrong, and the handset doesn't ring, yet the incoming call on the other end hears the normal ring ring thinking the phone is ringing, when it actually doesn't.

Put the phone down, and call again whiles the sim is on 3G, and the handset rings. But sometimes, even when on 3G, that still doesn't happen and I have no idea why, but when I tested it with an MTN Sim which had VoLTE it worked flawlessly.

However, I do have an option to configure a SIP account so that is an option still

Try calling telkom on 10210 or 180 and ask them to provision your simcard with volte.
