How to port your landline number over to Pure VoIP
If you would like to port your landline number over to VoIP but have active DSL internet services on that line, the DSL services will have to be cancelled. If you do not wish to cancel your DSL services, we suggest signing up for a new VoIP number rather than porting.
Only geographic South African numbers (starting with 01, 02, 03, 04, 05) and non‑geographic numbers (starting with 087, 080, 086, 0860, 0861) can be ported to Pure VoIP.
Mobile numbers (083, 072 and 061, etc) CAN NOT be ported.
