Porting number to Lebara, any experiences ?

virgo17

After the latest Three price increase announcement I am thinking of moving to Lebara. Just need a bit of assurance regarding PAC'ing to them.

I can only offer my experience(s).

I have ported into Lebara a number of times and each has been trouble free.

Also porting out has presented no issues.

Sorry if you are aware, but it's working days for the transfer period.

Good luck.

Thank you for the quick response. Am aware about the working days transfer but thanks for mentioning it.

As above, I've also ported twice to Lebara. Seamless and faultless on both occasions.

Thank you. Have my Three PAC now and waiting for a Lebara SIM to arrive.

Hi For those who have ported to Lebara can you advise please - was your number out of service on porting day for any length of time?  I am supposed to be porting from Voxi to Lebara today (4 Jul).  The Lebara notification advised it would happen any time between 9.00am and midnight.  However just after 8am I have lost service on the Voxi sim completely and if I call my number from another phone it says invalid number.  Those who have ported successfully what was your experience like?

In the past I have ported from Three to Voxi and it was seamless - at one point I had phone service on both phones for a few mins but never lost connection completely.  I am worried now.

Have you put your Lebara sim in your phone to see if its now active with the correct number?

yes - still the old temp Lebara number

EDIT - port was completed by the end of the day -very slow compared to what I am used to, and was without a working phone for most of the day - something to be aware of.
