Process
When you request to transfer, we’ll speak to your existing mobile service provider to confirm your request. We won't be able to complete the transfer if it's not confirmed. If we run into any issues, we'll call you. Once it's confirmed, we'll initiate the transfer. This usually takes less than 4 hours, but it can take a couple of days and your service may be interrupted during this time. We'll send you a text when the transfer is complete. If the transfer takes more than a couple of days, try restarting your phone.
Delay
If the transfer takes more than a couple of days, we suggest you try turning your phone off and on. If after 30 days the transfer has failed, you must return the SIM card to us. If not, we might bill you for a mobile service.
Transfer enquiries
If you have any questions about the transfer, please contact us. Get in touch if you want to confirm that the transfer has occurred or to lodge an enquiry or complaint about the transfer, to determine handset compatibility or any other service related matter. If you're experiencing any faults with your service whilst it is being transferred to Belong please contact your existing mobile service provider.
