Please ensure that:

  • 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.
