Modified on Thu, 14 Mar 2024 at 02:23 PM

Step 1: Submit your request to switch to CelcomDigi

Note: Please bring along your ID card for registration.


Please ensure that:

  1. Your line is active. 
  2. You do not have any ongoing contract with your current service provider. 
  3. You have no outstanding bills with your current service provider.
  4. The submitted mobile number(s) is registered under your ID and your personal details match those with your current service provider.
  5. If you have supplementary lines, you must port them in together with your principal line.
  • Once your port-in is in progress, please ensure all your supplementary lines reply to the port-out confirmation SMS as instructed within the specified deadline.
  • If you have supplementary lines that do not wish to switch to CelcomDigi, you must split your primary and supplementary lines at your current service provider before requesting to switch to CelcomDigi.
  • If you are a supplementary line and wish to switch to CelcomDigi, you will need to convert your line to a primary line at your current service provider before requesting to switch to CelcomDigi.


Step 2: Reply port-out confirmation SMS

  • After receiving your new Celcom/ Digi SIM, don't insert the SIM yet.
  • Look out for a port-out confirmation SMS from your current service provider and follow the instructions to reply. Please reply within the specified deadline. Refer to the sample reply below:
    U Mobile & Maxis
    Celcom & Digi
    PortOut Yes 601XXXXXXX
    PortOut YES 601XXXXXXXX
  • For those who have submitted their request to switch online:

    • You will receive the port-out confirmation SMS once you have successfully received and activated your SIM.  
    • For Digi, your SIM will be automatically activated within 1 hour of delivery. For Celcom, activate your SIM by scanning the QR code located in your 'Your Order Is On Its Way' email. 
    • SIM delivery will vary based on the delivery area as outlined below:
