How to switch mobile service provider

ComReg has a role in ensuring you have information to assist you in shopping around if you want to switch mobile service provider.

The best time to look for a new mobile service provider is if you are:

  • coming to the end of your minimum contract term.
  • no longer within the minimum term of your contract.

Mobile Switching Information

When you choose to switch mobile service, you can contact your new mobile service provider who should take responsibility for leading the switching process and coordinating with your transferring service provider. If any issues in this process lead to you losing service, this must not exceed one working day. See our mobile switching page for more information.
