we'll show you how easy it is to bring your number to amaysim
Transferring your number to amaysim is a straightforward process that can be completed all online.
Simply let us know the details of your existing number when signing up and we'll take care of the rest.
If your mobile number is currently under contract, you'll need to wait for it to end, or contact your existing provider to discuss terminating it early.
Do not cancel your existing number, as it needs to be active for the number transfer to be completed.
Once your number is successfully transferred to amaysim, it will automatically cancel the number with your previous provider.
Although many transfers are completed within a few hours, transfers from Telstra or Vodafone can take up to 1 business day, while transfers from the Optus network can take up to 3 business days.
During the transfer you can continue to use your current provider's SIM.
When you sign up online to amaysim, you'll be asked if you want to keep you existing mobile number. No lengthy paperwork and no hassles!
To ensure your transfer can be completed as quickly as possible, before you initiate the transfer, we'll need to know things about your current mobile account like:
After the initial sign up process is complete and you've received your SIM, you'll be able to log in to your account to initiate the transfer.
You'll need to authorise the number transfer by entering a six-digit code which will be sent to your number via SMS, so keep your phone handy, as the transfer will only kick-off after the code has been successfully verified.
Transfers from Telstra or Vodafone can take up to 1 business day, while transfers from the Optus network can take up to 3 business days.
Tip: You can start the transfer at any time, however transfers are processed between 8am - 8pm Monday to Friday and 10am - 6pm on Saturday.
During the transfer you can continue to use your current provider's SIM. Once the transfer is complete, your number will be automatically cancelled with your previous provider.
