So I ported to Telkom on Monday... Can somebody indicate the time it takes for the port to be completed? I was told in store, that it would be active on Monday by 7:30pm. It's Tuesday and my MTN sim is still active.

So keen to know how long this takes to kick in

My port to Telkom took 2 weeks. :mad: Wasn't Telkom's fault though as they to wait for the number to be released.
That was 4 years ago. Still a happy Telkom customer.

Put each sim in a different phone and see which one rings?
 
Did my porting to Telkom on Thursday, still un-ported today.
Suppose the holidays...
 
I had ported my prepaid Vodacom number to Telkom Mobile contract a few months after it changed from its 8ta branding. It was done on a public holiday 16 December if I recall. It took a while for the porting to complete. A few days after the port was initiated, signal was disconnected on my old sim and port was successful. On estimate it took around 4 business days. Upon enquiry Telkom said Vodacom had not released my number and that was the hold up.
