FAQs

Can I keep my existing number when I join Kogan Mobile with an eSIM? Arrow

Absolutely! When you activate your new Kogan Mobile service, you will have the option to receive a new Kogan Mobile number, or bring an existing number to our network.

When you choose to port your number (i.e. bring an existing number to our network) you will be sent an SMS to your old mobile number with a security code. When you reply to the SMS with the code successfully, we will transfer your existing number to Kogan Mobile usually within 3 business hours unless it is a Sunday or public holiday.
