PremiumSIM: Take your phone number with you - this is how it works

Discount offers such as the tariffs from PremiumSIM have become established and are widely used. The practical thing: You can even take your phone number with you there. Our guide shows you how it works.

When you switch to PremiumSIM, it's easy to take your phone number with you.

It's always cheaper: discounters offer prices that are hardly possible with the big providers. The transfer of the phone number is an important criterion for many customers and is therefore made possible.

PremiumSIM: Take phone number with you - what to consider

The best example of this is PremiumSIM. The discounter is currently in vogue, as it offers generous flat rates very cheaply. The possibility of monthly cancellation is also a strong plus point. So all that remains is the phone number transfer:

• This is always possible with PremiumSIM in principle. However, this can be applied for a maximum of 123 days before or up to 85 days after the end of the old cell phone contract.
• Depending on the offer, your new account with PremiumSIM for the number portability is even credited an amount.
• This money comes in handy, since the portability is usually charged by the old provider. Costs in the range of 30 euros are the rule. This falls under the term "porting".
• You should apply for the number portability in time and already note when concluding the new contract with PremiumSIM. In this way, a seamless transition is possible on the desired date.
• Also make sure that your personal data provided when ordering, such as name and date of birth, match those of your old contract.

In the end, the takeover is therefore pretty straightforward. You can get more info on the procedure on this page.
