Porting to MTN and then some :-)

[air]

I currently have a Telkom prepaid number : nr_A
I also currently have a MTN 24 month contract (21 months left) : nr_B

Can I port nr_A to MTN, then overwrite nr_B with nr_A

thanks in advance

You will first have to port the Telkom Mobile no to MTN Prepaid, then they can add a prepaid number to a contract if it is already with MTN. This is what happned with me. Have to add my contract wasn't activated yet and I waited for all the porting to be done before I activated, I don't know if it is possible with a contract that has already been activated.

I'm wanting to do this too (except from FNB, but that shouldn't make a difference)! Really hope it's possible

MTN does not have an active rep here.
There is an employee that sometimes helps when he has time.

What you are basically looking at is an MSISDN swap, the logistic nightmare version:crylaugh:. What you are looking at cant be done because once you swap the cell number the previous cell number is disabled for 6 months, then reintegrated back into the network.

Dammit, but thank you for your explanation
