How to get all simcard details.

Hi Donna,

Mobile number portability (MPN) is a facility which allows customers to keep their existing phone number when they move providers.For this you don’t need any sim detail.

Following are the steps to change your network using MPN facility

1. Contact the Customer Services Department of your current provider and ask for a PAC. This must be issued immediately over the phone or within 2 hours via text. Your PAC is likely to be a 9-digit code and is valid for 30 days (after this time you must request a new PAC).

2. Research your options and choose the best plan and provider for your needs.

3. Give your PAC to your new provider and they will take it from here.

It should take no longer than 1 working day from the day you provide your PAC code to your new network for the transfer to complete and you to be up and running. In the interim, all calls on your phone will continue to be made via your old network.

You will need your SIM card number if you ever need to speak to your mobile network to activate a new SIM.  The number will be written on the SIM card itself but is very small, especially on the Micro SIMs used in newer iPhones.

How to find your SIM card number on an iPhone

To easily find your SIM number from the iPhone itself, just go to:

Settings > General > About

Then just scroll down to the ICCID.  This is your SIM card number.
