I don't have a answer for you as yet. Will let you know asap.;)
 
Hi there, here is your answer.

Hi Piesang,

Basically the process amounts to an MSISDN swap.

So…when the customer ports across from VC , we can port the VC number across and do an MSISDN swap on his existing SIM.

So yes, he has the VM SIM already so, we just need to wait for him to tell us to port once MNP is in place and we will handle the rest.

They don't have 3G coverage as yet but I was assured they have very good trained technical staff that is working on that.

Also remember, they are using Cell-C's network. But then, Cell-C is using Vodacom's network. So I assume they will have excellent 3G coverage as soon as it is launched.
