What happens on the day my number moves to Vodafone?

  • On the day your number is due to move, put your Vodafone SIM in your phone and switch it on
  • The number move will happen between 11am and 6pm. Please switch your phone containing your new Vodafone SIM off and on during the course of the day.
  • If it doesn’t happen by midnight, please switch your phone, containing your Vodafone SIM, off and on again. If you’re still experiencing issues after that, please get in touch.
  • When your number’s been moved across, we’ll send you a text to welcome you on board
