Our work phones were all ported to TM recently, I haven't had any issues. My boss, however, had connectivity issues on his S4, but a simswap sorted out that issue.

Hi Macarvelah

Thank you for considering Telkom Mobile. If your current Network number is on prepaid the answer is "Yes" you can port the number as contract. Just visit your nearest Duban Central Branch for further assistance.

@Telkom Mobile - I'm only wanting customers and not service providers to provide feedback. Thank you

Before porting your primary number go to your local store and purchase a starter pack that way you can experience the service first hand and have peace of mind.

Remember Telkom Mobile DATA only*home network* is dependant.

Feel tempted to take them up on their offer!! Don't like itchy fingers.

Beware though: The web page is very generous with its coverage guestimate. I had to return mine the next morning since although the coverage maps clearly shows coverage for both 3G the phone shows precisely no bars (edge occationally fades in and out). I would suggest avoiding Telkom mobile if you are even close to edge of the "coverage" area.

Also be aware that they sell the gimped 3G only version of the phone despite the instore promotional material (on the slides on the TV) showing both LTE and download booster as features; which the phone they actually supply lacks.
